Aluminum-Covered Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Face Color: Black
- Temperature Range: 0° to 170° F
- Tensile Strength: 8,740 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM E84 5/15 for Flame and Smoke, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1380, UL 94 V-0
A layer of soft LDPE is sandwiched between two thin layers of aluminum for strength and rigidity. Use these sheets outdoors as signs, wall panels, canopies, and building cladding. One side is painted black; the painted side is normally exposed.
Moisture-Resistant Polyethylene (HDPE) Film

- Hardness: See Table
- For Use Outdoors: 0.005" Thick.: No; All other sizes: Yes
- Specifications Met:
0.005" Thick.: ASTM E84 10/40 for Flame and Smoke, Canvas Products Association International Specification 84, Sections 6 and 7

The high-density construction translates into a durable film that’s more chemical and water resistant than LDPE film. This woven film is also tear and puncture resistant, so it’s often used for tarps and machine covers.
The 0.005” thick film is flame retardant; it meets ASTM E8410/40 for flame and smoke.
