Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is the most common type of plastic sheeting. 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.
What is LDPE used for?
Low density polyethylene (LDPE). This clear or translucent plastic exhibits flexibility, chemical resistance, and waterproofing capabilities. It is used in the manufacture of a wide range of products, including grocery bags, plastic wrap and film, flexible packaging material, and injection molded parts.
What are the disadvantages of LDPE?
- Susceptible to stress cracking.
- Low strength, stiffness and maximum service temperature. This limits its usage in applications requiring extreme temperatures.
- High gas permeability, particularly carbon dioxide.
- Poor UV resistance.
- Highly flammable.
- High-frequency welding and joining impossible.
