How is low-density polythene (LDP) obtained?
Options
- APolymerization at low pressure
- BPolymerization at high pressure
- CPolymerization at room temperature
- DPolymerization in the absence of dioxygen
Correct answer
B. Polymerization at high pressure
Step-by-step solution
Low-density polythene (LDP) is obtained by the polymerization of ethene under high pressure of 1000 to 2000 atmospheres.
