Question

Does HDPE have high molecular weight?

Answer 1

The linear form of polyethylene (HDPE) facilitates efficient packing of chains and concomitantly has high crystallinity (70–90%) and density (0.96–0.98 g/cm3).

Answer 2

Answer:

HDPE or high density polyethylene has high molecular weight( 100,000-250,000u). The other commonly known polymer is LDPE or low density polythene which has lower MW( about 30000- 50000u).

Explanation:

EXTRA INFO: One other confusing point related to HDPE and LDPE is the structure. HDPE is linear while LDPE is branched.
