Plastic Sheets
HM and LDPE Sheets
Dhanshri Polypack specializes in supplying polyethylene (PE and LDPE) plastic sheets that provide flexibility, chemical resistance and easy formability. Our PE sheets offer an economical material solution for various applications.
Introduction to PE Plastic Sheets
PE sheets refer to plastic sheets made from polyethylene resin. Key properties:
- Provides high tensile strength
- Offers good chemical resistance to acids and alkalis
- Exhibits excellent impact strength and flexibility
- Has low moisture absorption and does not warp or swell
- Allows thermoforming into different shapes
These properties make polyethylene suitable for manufacturing plastic sheets for a wide range of applications.
Types of PE Plastic Sheets
We supply polyethylene sheets in various types:
- LDPE sheets – Flexible general purpose grade
- HDPE sheets – Heavy duty grade with high strength
- LLDPE sheets – High clarity and puncture resistant grade
- MDPE sheets – Medium density grade with moderate properties
- UHMWPE sheets – Ultra high molecular weight grade with maximum abrasion resistance
The sheets are available in thickness from 0.5mm to 20mm and standard or custom sizes.
Applications of PE Plastic Sheets
PE plastic sheets provide an optimal material solution for:
- Tanks and chemical equipment – Chemical and corrosion resistance
- Food packaging trays – FDA approved for food contact
- Refrigerated trailers – Withstands freezing temperatures
- Marine applications – Decking, boat hulls, buoys
- Material handling – Rollers, wear strips, bearings
- Construction – Skylights, vapor barriers, pipe liners
Benefits of PE Plastic Sheets
Key benefits offered by polyethylene sheets:
- Provides good chemical resistance
- Flexible and elastic – easily formed into various shapes
- Excellent impact strength – does not crack or shatter
- Good electrical insulating properties
- Low moisture absorption – retains dimensions
- Good wear and abrasion resistance
- Cost-effective compared to engineering plastics
- Recyclable and environmentally responsible
LDPE vs HDPE Sheets
LDPE and HDPE are two polyethylene grades used for sheets:
- LDPE offers greater flexibility and elasticity.
- HDPE provides higher tensile strength and abrasion resistance.
- HDPE has higher impact strength than LDPE.
- LDPE is often more economical than HDPE.
- LDPE is suitable for general usage. HDPE for heavy duty applications.
LDPE Plastic Sheets
LDPE sheets are manufactured from low density polyethylene resin. Key properties of LDPE are:
- Excellent flexibility and elasticity
- Good chemical resistance to acids and solvents
- High impact and puncture resistance
- Good electrical insulating properties
- Allows easy thermoforming and welding
- Resistant to fatigue and cracking
These characteristics make LDPE suitable for a wide range of general purpose applications.
LDPE Plastic Sheet Applications
Typical applications of LDPE plastic sheets include:
- Food packaging trays and containers
- Caps and closures for bottles
- Refrigerator liners and freezer panels
- Chemical tanks and material handling parts
- Marine buoys, floats requiring flexibility
- Playground slides – Smooth low friction surface
LDPE provides cost-effective performance for everyday usage.
LDPE Sheet Grades
LDPE sheets are available in different density grades:
- LDPE (0.910 – 0.925 g/cm3) – Flexible standard grade
- LLDPE (0.915 – 0.945 g/cm3) – Higher strength and puncture resistance
- MDPE (0.926 – 0.940 g/cm3) – Medium density grade
We recommend a suitable LDPE grade based on application requirements.
