Fine LDPE Powder/Bead Source?

Fine LDPE Powder/Bead Source?

Fine LDPE Powder/Bead Source?

(OP)
I'm looking for a source of LDPE powder with a mean particle size of around 400 micron that will sell in kg quantities.  I can find this at science lab suppliers (Alfa Aesar) but they sell at 100 g or smaller quantities.

Just a name or two would help narrow down the hits I've found with a Google search.

Thanks, Mike

RE: Fine LDPE Powder/Bead Source?

I'm not sure of the particle size of rotational moulding grade of LDPE, but this should be available in 25Kg bags.

One brand name I remember is Sclair, I think from DuPont, but that info is decades old, and it was actually LLDPE

Thanks Pat - might that have been Equistar?  If so, they don't seem to have anything in the particle size range needed but I need to follow up on them.
