LDPE (low density polyethylene) is a soft, stretchy plastic material. LDPE sheet is used for orthotics and prosthetics when softness and flexibility are required.
Length, width, thickness, and diameter tolerances vary by size and by manufacturer Custom sizes and colors available upon request Many of our plastic materials are available as films with thicknesses of 0.029" or less Also available as a tape.
(5) HDPE (high density polyethylene) is available as sheet or rod stock for applications that require greater strength and stiffness than LDPE.
HDPE with an embossed surface is widely used as a cutting board material in restaurants and food processing plants
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Sheet is stronger than standard polyethylene, acts as an effective barrier against moisture and remains solid at room temperature. It is a chemically resistant environmentally stabilized sheet. It is also offered in a co-extruded multiple color layered sheet that is easy to engrave and machine.
UHMW-PE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) is an extremely tough and abrasion resistant thermoplastic that is used for applications that require durability and/or abrasive wear resistance.
UHMW sheet is often used for lining chutes and hoppers in order to protect metal surfaces and promote the flow of solid materials such as sand, wood chips, or coal.
UHMW is also used for packaging, conveyor, and food processing machinery parts including star wheels, idler sprockets, and under-chain wear strips.
