Low Density Polyethylene
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) is a highly branched, low-crystallinity polyolefin valued for flexibility, clarity, and excellent processability on blown and cast film lines. It is the workhorse resin for shrink and stretch films, lamination layers, heavy-duty sacks, agricultural film, squeeze bottles, and extrusion coating, where its softness, low sealing temperature, and high melt strength matter more than stiffness.
Grades are specified primarily by melt-flow index (MFI/MFR per ISO 1133, typically 0.3-25 g/10 min at 190 C/2.16 kg) and density (commonly 0.916-0.940 g/cm3). Lower-MFI film grades (around 0.3-1 g/10 min) suit blown film with good bubble stability and draw-down; higher-MFI grades serve injection moulding and extrusion coating. Additive packages cover slip, anti-block, UV stabilisation, and optical clarity. Food-contact-suitable grades are offered with EU 10/2011 and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 declarations where the end use requires them.
Forms are virgin granules in standard pellet size; recycled (PCR) LDPE is offered separately where buyers specify circular content. Packaging is typically 25 kg PE bags on stretch-wrapped pallets, 500-1250 kg FIBC/jumbo bags, or octabins for bulk film extrusion lines; full-container-load (FCL) consignments are common for EU and GCC importers.
For EU buyers, REACH registration status is confirmed and an Only Representative pathway is coordinated where required; CLP labelling and SDS accompany shipments. SABER/SASO is arranged for Saudi Arabia. Himalay's verified manufacturer/exporter partners supply LDPE with CoA per batch (MFI, density, moisture), SDS, REACH/CLP compliance coordinated for EU, GHS labelling, and SABER for Saudi Arabia handled as part of the standard order flow.
