Polyethylene - Low & High Density LDPE HDPE

LDPE Low Density Polyethylene, the first of the polyethylenes to be developed, is characterized by good toughness, resistance to chemicals, flexibility and clarity. It's an excellent material in electrical and chemical uses in low heat applications.

Applications •Chemical Resistant Tanks and Containers
•Food Storage Containers
•Laboratory Equipment
•Disposable Thermoformed Products
•Corrosion Resistant Work Surfaces.

HDPE
High Density Polyethylene is more rigid and harder than lower density materials. It also has higher tensile strength, four times that of low density polyethylene. It is three times better in compressive strength and meets FDA requirements for direct food contact applications.

APPLICATIONS
•Food Cutting Boards
•Pipe Flanges
•Corrosion Resistant Wall Coverings
•Lavatory Partitions
•Man-hole Covers - Chemical Plants
•Radiation Shielding
•Self Supporting Containers
•Prosthetic Devices
