Marlex® Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

Plastic food containers

CPChem has been a trusted leader in high-pressure LDPE production since 1955, delivering flexible, clear and easy-to-process materials for packaging and industrial applications.

  • Easy processing across film, extrusion and molding applications
  • Flexibility and softness for efficient handling and forming
  • Transparency for clear packaging solutions
  • Strong impact resistance, even at low temperatures
  • Moisture and chemical resistance for long-term durability

Thanks to this balance of performance and versatility, LDPE is widely used in films, coatings, containers and many everyday products.
