Material Profile
LDPE (Low‑Density Polyethylene)
Flexible, soft polyolefin used for squeeze tubes, liners, and films.
About This Material
LDPE has a branched molecular structure that gives it flexibility, clarity, and good moisture resistance. It is ideal for soft packaging formats requiring squeezability or thin‑wall performance.
Recycle profile: Recyclable (#4) but less commonly accepted curbside.
Common uses: Squeeze tubes, liners, bags, overwraps.
Notes: Often blended with LLDPE for improved strength.
