In addition, low density polyethylene (LDPE) and medium density polyethylene (MDP) are used as base polyethylene for grafting maleic anhydride.
E), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), straight-chain polyethylene, etc. can be used, but LDPE is more preferable as the base polyethylene considering the extrudability into cables and the flexibility of the insulator. is there.
