About Plastic

Flexible Polyethylene (LDPE) Film

Often used for packaging and construction applications, this film is also known as Visqueen.

Reinforced Flexible Polyethylene (LDPE) Film

A polyester string reinforcement gives this material better tear resistance than standard LDPE film.

Moisture-Resistant Polyethylene
(HDPE) Sheets, Bars, and Strips

Practically nonabsorbent, HDPE won't swell when exposed to moisture. It is denser and more rigid than LDPE, plus it's more chemical resistant.

Moisture-Resistant Polyethylene (HDPE) Film

Practically nonabsorbent, HDPE won't swell when exposed to moisture. It is denser and more rigid than LDPE, plus it's more chemical resistant.

Slippery UHMW Polyethylene Film

In addition to a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t.

Slippery UHMW Polyethylene Sheets, Bars, and Strips

In addition to a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t.

Electrically Conductive Carbon-Filled
Slippery UHMW Polyethylene Film

The addition of carbon gives this material the ability to divert static electricity faster than antistatic UHMW.

Flame-Retardant Polypropylene Film

Widely used in semiconductor applications, this polypropylene meets UL flame-retardance standards.

Polypropylene Film

Package food, textiles, and other products in wet environments. This film won’t absorb or swell from water.

Easy-to-Form Polystyrene Sheets and Strips

Often fabricated into signs, packaging, and light duty housings, polystyrene is easy to thermoform.

Clear Clean-Release Polypropylene

Also known as frisket film, this polypropylene has a low-tack adhesive that releases without leaving residue behind.
