ULDPE
Ultra low density polyethylene
Based on the same technology as HDPE, but the density is reduced through the incorporation of longer a-olefins as comonomers. With this, another way of adapting the products to the final applications turns up. Single-site catalysts allow an expansion of the application range, mainly by allowing higher comonomer contents and a more even distribution of these.
UV light stabilizers
To protect polyolefins for outdoor applications against light induced degradation. Hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) are the most efficient.
