LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene), also known as a polyolefin material, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of up to 200° F (93° C). It is categorized as a standard material, and offers strong chemical resistance, high flexibility, and low moisture absorption.
LDPE is a water-resistant, cost-efficient, long-lasting, and 100% recyclable multi-purpose material used for a variety of commercial and residential applications. Compared to high-density polyethylene, LDPE is more flexible and lighter in weight, making it an ideal solution for applications that are vacuum- or drape-formed. It exhibits excellent impact resistance, as well as chemical resistance, making it suitable for work surfaces requiring corrosion resistance. Light-transmission options range from translucent to opaque. LDPE is the material of choice in laboratory dispensing and wash bottles due to its excellent flexibility and the fact that it is virtually unbreakable. LDPE is also commonly used for die pads, hinges, impact pads, and orthotic and prosthetic devices.

Plastics are so prevalent in agriculture that their use is sometimes referred to as “plasticulture.” Performance plastics provide one of the world’s largest industries with a wide range of benefits, including longer part life and reduced equipment maintenance, higher operational safety, greater yields, and improved efficiency.
Everything that is manufactured must be moved around a production facility, and most items get packaged before they’re sold. With the rise of consumer online shopping, the material handling industry has expanded rapidly and continues to grow.
Performance plastics continue to revolutionize operations in the dynamic landscape of the food and beverage industry by optimizing processes and safeguarding product integrity.
UHMW, also known as UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of up to 180° F (82° C).
HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), part of the polyolefin family of materials, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of -50° F (-46° C) to 180° F (82° C).
Foamed polypropylene sheets, such as PolyCraft®, are an excellent choice for signage and displays. Lightweight, and UV resistant, the material can be used outdoors without concerns of graphics fading.
