Common applications for LDPE include water and chemical transportation. LDPE is to be used in outdoor applications where UV rays are a factor. Black LDPE is recommended to improve durability. Low density polyethylene has heat distortion temperature of 120°F.
Thermoplastic LDPE is often used to create corrosion-resistant work surfaces, trays, and containers.
