LDPE Powder (Low-Density Polyethylene)
LDPE powder is supplied in free-flowing form for rotational molding of flexible parts, hot-melt adhesive powders, and thin protective coatings. It offers good flexibility, chemical resistance, and low-temperature toughness. Typical particle size ranges from roughly 50 to 300 µm depending on grade; specific particle size and melt index are confirmed at time of quotation.
