Here at BPF<\/strong><\/a>, we\u2019re pleased to announce the arrival of our new range of LLDPE Ferrules<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"LLDPE<\/a><\/p>\n

What are Ferrules?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ferrules are a type of external fitting end cap designed to push fit onto the ends of tubes, pipes or poles. This seals the base\/opening and provides a protective coating to the rim and edges.<\/p>\n

Where are they commonly found?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ferrules are commonly found throughout the construction and trade industries, capping off constructive metalwork.<\/p>\n

However, they are also used frequently for domestic use. Due to their simple yet diverse range of properties, Ferrules can be used across a variety of applications. As such, they can be found throughout schools, universities, libraries and shops; being used as furniture feet (such as chair feet or table feet) to cap off the furniture legs and prevent against scratches, scrapes and impact damage to carpets and hard flooring.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s new with these Ferrules? <\/strong><\/h4>\n

These Ferrules are made from LLDPE (Linear low-density polyethylene). LLDPE is a composite form of LDPE, where the film has a greater flexibility, tensile strength, impact strength, puncture resistance, and environmental stress-crack resistance than LDPE. Subsequently, these properties make it ideal for producing ferrules and end caps.<\/p>\n

Due to its wide range of properties, LLDPE is also commonly used in the following applications:<\/p>\n
