2. Processes for Polymerization of
Ethylene
A. High Pressure Processes
Conventional process, Slurry Process, Solution Process
B. Low Pressure Processes
Zieglar Process, Unipol Process, Philips Process, Indiana Process,
Other processes.
7. Long Chain Branching in LDPE(LCB)
LDPE Density 0.918-0.919 g/cm3,MFI- 1.7 ,Mn = 200,000
a. Autoclave Product with 20 LCB
b. Tubular product with 7 LCB
20. Film and sheet Application
(MFI 0.2 to 6 and Density-0.917-0.930 g/cm3)
Shrink Wrapping, heavy duty sacks, food
packaging.
Storage bags, agricultural films and industrial
sheeting.
21. Extrusion Coating
(MFI 4 to 10 and Density-0.920-0.930 g/cm3)
Thin coating on paper, aluminum foil,
paperboard and another polymeric film.
Final structure is used for food packaging, juice
boxes, milk or another food container
Advantage : LDPE serves as adhesive, moisture
barrier, seal layer, printing surface or barrier to
tearing.
