LDPE Injection Moulding
LDPE is a thermoplastic that creates parts with impact resistance and good flexibility
What is LDPE?
Low density polyethylene or LDPE is an all-purpose resin with impact resistance, crack resistance, and excellent flexibility.
Key benefits of LDPE:
- Excellent aesthetics
- Flexibility
- Impact resistant and ESCR
