Low Density Polyethylene (Black) 9140 (Material Type: LDPE)

Low Density Polyethylene (Black) 9140:

Low Density Polyethylene (Black) 9140 refers to a specific grade of LDPE material that is black-colored and identified by the grade number 9140 (usually a manufacturer or supplier code).

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

• A soft, flexible, and tough thermoplastic polymer
• Lower density than HDPE (~0.91–0.93 g/cm³)
• Excellent impact resistance, chemical resistance, and moisture barrier properties
• Commonly used in films, packaging, containers, tubing, and wire insulation

Black Color

• Typically achieved by adding carbon black pigment

• Provides:

  • UV resistance and protection against sunlight degradation

  • Improved weatherability and oxidation resistance

  • Better color stability for outdoor use

Grade 9140

• A specific grade code used by a supplier (e.g., a producer like SABIC, LyondellBasell, or other polymer companies)

• Usually formulated for good processability in extrusion, molding, or film production

Common Applications:

• Flexible films and sheets
• Cable jacketing and insulation
• Bags and packaging materials
• Tubing and hoses
• Outdoor products requiring UV stability
• Low Density Polyethylene for sheathing communication cables
• Material type: LDPE (Black) – Grade: 9140
