Product Overview
LDPE- Commodity Thermoplastic
LDPE is more flexible than HDPE, which makes it a good choice for prosthetic devices, most of which are either drape formed or vacuum formed. Impact resistance makes it a natural for impact pads, while its easy machinability makes it a good choice for fabricated parts where chemical and corrosion resistance is demanded.
Features and Benefits:
- Food Safe: Food safe grades available great for food handling surfaces.
- wear resistance: Can withstand wear and abrasion making it perfect for conveyors and wear pads.
- Chemical Resistance: Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids and solvents, ensuring longevity and reliability.
- Low Moisture Absorption: Performs consistently even in wet conditions, keeping its integrity intact.
- Biocompatibility: Certain grades are suitable for medical use, thanks to their biocompatibility and ability to be sterilized.
Applications:
- Food & Beverage: Great for cutting boards and food preparation surfaces.
- Medical: Used in implants and devices due to their biocompatibility and ability to be sterilized.
- Automotive: Durable and heat-resistant, perfect for various automotive parts.
- Chemical processing: Capable of resisting harsh chemicals, LDPE is used in pipes and resevoir lining.
- Industrial Machinery: Wear resistant and long-lasting, suitable for parts that need to withstand tough conditions.
