LDPE Unfilled
LDPE Unfilled Overview
What is the Material: LDPE Unfilled is a semi-crystalline material.
Key Material Features: This material is beneficial in applications requiring more flexibility than HDPE, while offering similar impact strength and chemical resistance.
Other Considerations: This material is attacked by strong oxidizing acids and UV light.
