LDPE Chemical Compatibility Chart (original) (raw)
LDPE Chemical Compatibility Chart: Check the chemical compatibility of LDPE (low density polyethylene) with various chemicals, solvents, alcohols and other products.
LDPE is defined by a density range of 0.910–0.940 g/cm3. It is not reactive at room temperatures, except by strong oxidizing agents, and some solvents cause swelling. It can withstand temperatures of 80°C continuously and 95 °C for a short time. It is flexible and tough, but breakable. LDPE's intermolecular forces are weaker, its tensile strength is lower, and its resilience is higher than HDPE.
Please Note: The information in this chart has been supplied by reputable sources and is to be used ONLY as a guide in selecting equipment for appropriate chemical compatibility. ALWAYS test your equipment under the specific conditions of your application before permanent installation.
Ratings of chemical behavior listed in this chart apply at a 48-hr exposure period. We have no knowledge of possible effects beyond this period. We do not warrant (neither express nor implied) that the information in this chart is accurate or complete or that any material is suitable for any purpose.

Explanation of Footnotes
- Satisfactory to 72°F (22°C)
- Satisfactory to 120°F (48°C)
Ratings: Chemical Effect
A = Excellent.
B = Good, Minor Effect, slight corrosion or discoloration
C = Fair, Moderate Effect, not recommended for continuous use. Softening, loss of strength, or swelling may occur.
D = Severe Effect, not recommended for ANY use.
N/A = Information not available.
CAUTION: Variations in chemical behavior during handling due to factors such as temperature, pressure, and concentrations can cause equipment to fail, even though it passed an initial test.
