Products in Implants & Prosthetics: Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

Cospheric Clear Polyethylene Microspheres 0.96g/cc - 1um to 1700um (1.7mm) is in dry powder form. No solvents, additives, or colorants are used in the manufacturing process. Polyethylene microspheres are hydrophobic and suspend easily in oil-based solutions. They can also be suspended in aqueous solution if coated with a surfactant prior to suspending in water. We recommend using Tween 80 or Tween 20 Surfactants.

Grade 15813-020 is intended for manufacture of products, allowed for food contact, for manufacture of toys. To be used for manufacture of medical accessories, assemblies and parts of medical equipment, devices and tools, allowed for body tissue contact including for internal prosthetics.

Polymer Industries' Densetec® LDPE Sheet is a material that's soft, flexible, and tough, even at low temperatures. Because of the fact that Densetec® LDPE has very good formability traits and is very pliable, it is an ideal material for the orthotics and prosthetics industry. Densetec® LDPE has very good chemical resistance and low moisture absorption which makes it ideal for the chemical industry. Densetec® LDPE also has exceptional environmental stress crack resistance properties.
