LDPE - Low Density Polyethylene General Material Properties:Unreactive, oil based thermoplastic. Flexible and high resilience. Excellent resistance to acids, alcohols, bases and esters. Crysalline structure, Poor machining qualities, Superb Elongation, Low tensile and compressive strength, low specific density. Common Applications: Trays, containers, food storage, six-pack rings, film packaging.
PET - Polyester Terephtalate General Material Properties:Crystalline structure, Good tensile and compressive strength, High deflection temperature, Excellent machining qualities, Good resistance to alkilis and solvents. Common Applications: Beverage and food containers, Mylar, package strapping, synthetic fibers.
HDPE - High Density Polyethylene General Material Properties: Crystalline Structure, Good for fabrication machining, Excellent Chemical resistance to alkalis and solvents, Fair Elongation, Fair Tensile and compression strength Common Applications: Typperware, Detergent containers, Fuel tanks, Cable insulation, Detergent containers
