Low density polyethylene plastic sheet.

Compared to hdpe it has a higher degree of short and long side chain branching. It is very flexible most often from 0 5 mil thick to about 40 mil in flexible sheeting forms. Due to its flexibility is conforms well to a variety of surfaces. The opaque off white ldpe sheet has a standard tolerance and meets american society for testing and materials astm d4976 pe113 specifications.

It makes a great lightweight flexible cutting board. Low density polyethylene ldpe is the most common type of plastic sheeting. Pe is created from the polymerization of ethylene which produces very long straight chains of hydrocarbon monomers. The ldpe is composed of 4 000 40 000 carbon atoms with many short branches.

80 300 c via free radical polymerization process. Ldpe low density polyethylene is a tough plastic that offers good chemical resistance at room temperature and low moisture absorption. Low density polyethylene ldpe sheet these sheets can be heat formed shaped and welded to fabricate ducts hoods and much more. Low density polyethylene is exactly what it sounds like it is a grade of polyethylene that carries with it a lower density than it s counterpart high density polyethylene hdpe.

Polyethylene sheets ldpe low density polyethylene this polyethylene sheet is a tough flexible chemical and impact resistant sheet thousand of uses. The material is more flexible than hdpe and uhmw. Low density polyethylene ldpe is a semi rigid and translucent polymer. Low density polyethylene ldpe is an economical plastic material with good chemical resistance.

Sheet size colors thicknesses and products available on our website are just a fraction of what s available at tap plastics store locations. Ldpe provides high impact strength at low temperatures. The downside is that this ldpe is not as strong or dense as some other types of plastic sheeting.
