It is translucent to opaque, robust enough to be virtually unbreakable and at the same time quite flexible. Chemically LDPE is unreactive at room temperature although it is slowly attacked by strong oxidizing agents and some solvents will cause softening or swelling.

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a colorless, non flammable, non reactive solid with no odor, LDPE resins offer manufacturers low production costs for a wide range of products with different levels of strength, stretch, clarity and puncture resistance. With this grade slate, manufacturers can produce films for thousands of applications, including:LDPE resin grades are branched polyethylenes, which provide easier processing, higher melt strength and superior optical properties compared with linear polyethylenes. The very-low-haze grades provide excellent optical properties. The branched structure of LDPE also makes it ideal to serve as the main resin component in shrink film structures.

Polyvinyl chloride, commonly abbreviated PVC, is the third-most widely produced plastic, after polyethylene and polypropylene. PVC is used in construction because it is more effective than traditional materials such as copper, iron or wood in pipe and profile applications. It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely used being phthalates. In this form, it is also used in clothing and upholstery, electrical cable insulation, inflatable products and many applications in which it replaces rubber.
