LDPE is produced by polymerization of ethylene at high pressure (1,500-3,000 bars) in presence of free radicals. LDPE is mostly used for production of shopping and household bags, milk and water packaging foils, industrial bags, shrink and agricultural foils, insulation of electric conductors and cardboard lining.
HDPE) is produced by polymerization of ethylene at low pressure (cca. 42 bar) with catalyst. HDPE is used for production of bottles for food, pharmaceutical and chemical products, for pipes, barrels, tanks, boxes, carriers, packaging films and foils, shopping and household bags, toys and consumer goods.
Emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber is one of the most used polymers due to its wide range of applications: the largest amount of rubber (about 70%) is used for the production of car tyres, but there is also a wide range of products in which this product is irreplaceable.
