King KPC LDPE Sheet
- Description

- Reviews
King KPC LDPE is low-density polyethylene sheet at 0.918 g/cc — softer, more flexible and more forgiving than HDPE, with the same good chemical resistance. Gauges to 1-1/2" are made on the K-Stran™ process and heavier gauges to 4" are moulded. It has a smooth gloss finish on both faces and cuts, die-cuts and machines easily. The natural grade is FDA and USDA approved material suitable for food containers and food equipment.
LDPE is the right choice where corrosion resistance matters but stiffness, structural strength and high-temperature performance do not: stencils, die-cut parts, electrical insulators, orthopaedic and prosthetic appliances, root barriers, neutron shielding, vacuum-formed parts, food storage, laboratory containers and corrosion-resistant work surfaces. It also deadens sound better than the rigid grades. Stocked 1/16" through 2-1/2" on the 48" x 96" sheet, cut to your size.
- Low-density polyethylene — soft and flexible where HDPE is rigid
- Notched Izod records No Break under ASTM D256
- Flexural modulus 30,000 psi against 185,000 for KPC HDPE
- For corrosion resistance where stiffness and strength are not needed
- Heat deflection only 122°F at 66 psi — keep it out of hot service
- Natural is FDA and USDA approved for food containers and equipment
- Used for stencils, orthopedics, root barriers and neutron shielding
- Gauges from 1/16" to 2-1/2", easy to machine and vacuum form
