Trash Liners
Choosing the right liner is important
Here are a few tips
High Density
- Measured in Micron
- 1000th of a millimeter
- More Stiff feeling and sounds crinkly
- Generally available in lower gauges and more temperature resistant
- Usually range from 6 micron to 22 micron
- Convert micron to mils divide the micron by 25.4 to arrive at the true mil thickness
- More cost effective
- Great choice for office and restroom waste, shredded paper and in public areas where sharp trash is not deposited.
Low Density
- Measured in Mil
- .001 of an inch
- Quieter and a softer feel
- Resin is highly puncture and tear resistant
- Usually range from .09mil to 6mil
- Manufactured in a wide variety of colors
- Convert mil to micron multiply the mil by 25.4 to calculate the true micro thickness
- Cost double than micron
- Ideal for kitchen trash, construction debris or trash that includes glass, metal, wood, cardboard or other sharp, jagged or irregular shaped items
Low Density liner made with hexene
- Is a linear low density polyethylene film resin
- Merchandising bags, freezer bags, grocery sacks, ice bags, industrial bags
- Excellent toughness and strength
- Versatile
Star Seal
- Also known as xseal
- Most commonly found seal
- No gussets, sealed in a single spot
- Leak proof
- Can hold heavy or wet garbage
- Can be used on low density and high density liners
Gusset Liner
- Sealed on the bottom and sides are tucked
- Can be used on low density and high density
Flat seal
- Sealing bottom edge of liner so that there is no waste
- Ensures no leaks
- Holds more than 25% than a star sealed bag
