Polyethylene
Franklin supplies polyolefin products from the highest quality resin, employing annealing processes to produce virtually void-free, stress-relieved products in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
Low-Density Polyethylene
High-Density Polyethylene
LDPE is an extruded material offering good corrosion resistance properties and low moisture permeability. It can be used in applications where corrosion resistance is a factor, but stiffness, high temperatures, and structural strength are not. It can be easily fabricated, vacuum formed, and welded. HDPE offers superior corrosion resistance, a higher working temperature range, and higher tensile strength than LDPE
