Solution
LDP is a branched polymer of ethene with polymeric chains loosely held. Hence, even though it is tough, it is extremely flexible. Therefore, LDP is used in producing extruded films, sheets, mainly for packaging and household uses like in preparation of squeeze bottles, attractive containers, etc. where low tensile strength and flexibility are required.
On the other hand, HDP is a linear polymer of ethene with closely packed polymeric chains. Hence, it is much stiffer than LDP and has high tensile strength and hardness. Therefore, HDP is used in the manufacture of toys and other household articles like buckets, dustbins, bottles, pipes, laboratory wares, and other objects where high tensile strength and stiffness are required.
