    Abstract: A process for increasing purity of a low density polyethylene (LDPE) composition, comprising the steps of: a) providing a melted composition comprising LDPE having Mn of at least 5.0 kg/mol according to size exclusion chromatography, Mw of at least 50 kg/mol according to size exclusion chromatography, a density of 915 to 935 kg/m3 according to ISO1183 and a melt flow rate of 0.10 g/10 min to 80 g/10 min according to ISO1133:2011 measured at 190° C. and 2.16 kg, and b) providing particles from the melted composition by: b1) mixing a supercritical fluid in the melted composition to obtain a solution saturated with the supercritical fluid and b2) expanding the solution through an opening to obtain the particles.
