Low density polyethylene (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. Its 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.
Characteristics:
- Light-weight
- Good impact resistance
- Extremely flexible
- Easily cleaned
- Thermoforming performance
- Meets food handling guidelines
- No moisture absorption
- Chemical-and corrosion-resistant
