Compound is one of countless types of polymer products that is created from the combination of polymers and special additives to increase resistance and also prepare the polymer for its use in various industries.

Types of compounds
Two types of the most widely used and common compounds are polyethylene compound and polypropylene compound.

Polyethylene compound
Polyethylenes are very compatible with the environment because they are more recyclable. In this section, we will give a brief description of the types of polyethylene compound.

- Light polyethylene (LDPE)

Low tensile strength - possibility of decomposition by microorganisms - good flexibility

- Heavy polyethylene (HDPE)

Polyethylene with the highest tensile strength

- Medium density polyethylene (MDPE)

In terms of density, it is placed between light and heavy polyethylene - linear structure - used for the production of large tanks.

- Linear light polyethylene (LLDPE)

The superiority of mechanical properties is used in the production of polymer films.
