Advantages
Has higher tensile strength than LDPE.
Exhibits higher impact and puncture
resistance than LDPE. Lower thickness
(gauge) films can be blown compared
to LDPE, with better environmental
stress cracking resistance compared
to LDPE.
Disadvantages
Lower gloss than LDPE. Narrower temperature
range for heat sealing. Not as easy
to process as LDPE.
