How LDP and HDP are synthesized?

Answer»

Low density polythene: It is obtained by the polymerization of ethene under high pressure of 1000 to 2000 atmospheres at a temperature of 350 K to 570 K in the presence of traces of dioxygen or a peroxide initiator (catalyst).

High density polythene: It is formed when addition polymerisation of ethene takes place in a hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of a catalyst Ziegler-Natta catalyst at a temperature of 333 K to 343 K and under a pressure of 6-7 atmospheres.

How will you differentiate between LDP and HDP?

Answer»

Low density polythene: It is obtained by the polymerisation of ethene under high pressure of 1000 to 2000 atmospheres at a temperature of 350 K to 570 K in the presence of traces of dioxygen or a peroxide initiator (catalyst). 

Low density polythene is chemically inert and tough but flexible and a poor conductor of electricity.e.g., squeeze bottles, toys and flexible pipes. 

High density polythene: It is formed when addition polymerisation of ethene takes place in a hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of a catalyst Ziegler‐Natta catalyst at a temperature of 333 K to 343 K and under a pressure of 6‐7 atmospheres. HDP consists of linear molecules and has a high density due to close packing. It is more tougher and harder. It is used for manufacturing buckets, dustbins, bottles, pipes, etc.
