Essentially a linear polymer; it is highly crystalline, melts at about 135°C, and has a density of 0.95 - 0.97 g cm-3. Linear polyethylene has greater tensile strength and hardness than the low density variety. It is frequently prepared via Ziegler - Natta catalysis. 8, record 1, English, - high%2Ddensity%20polyethylene
