[[LDPE (4)]] ([[wikipedia:Low-density polyethylene|low density polyethylene]]) is a soft, flexible, lightweight plastic material. [[LDPE (4)]] is noted for its low temperature flexibility, toughness, and corrosion resistance<ref name="CURB">[https://www.curbellplastics.com/ResearchSolutions/Materials/LDPE#:~:text=LDPE%20(low%20density%20polyethylene)%20is,%2C%20toughness%2C%20and%20corrosion%20resistance.&text=LDPE%20has%20good%20chemical%20and,easy%20to%20fabricate%20and%20form/ Curbell Plastics]</ref>. It is not suited for applications where stiffness, high temperature resistance and structural strength are required. It is often used for orthotics and prosthetics. [[LDPE (4)]] has good chemical and impact resistance and is easy to fabricate and form<ref name="CURB" />. | |||
