Here is my question and the responses I received. Thanks, all, for your help.
07-21-00, listserv responses, supplier of white LDPE
QUESTION:
I am looking for white LDPE (low-density polyethylene). I don't mean what we
all use everyday, which is called natural. I mean LDPE that is pigmented
white. American Plastics of Dallas, who I buy from, tells me they never heard
of it. Anyone know where I can get it? Or if it is available at all? I need
to buy it in sheet form, 1/8. I know it is available for injection molding.
Thanks.
RESPONSES:
1. Cascade Orthopaedic Supply in Chico CA carry this palstic in the color
white, ph#1-800-888-0865.
Good Luck!
(This turned out not to be true.)
2. Try AliMed at 1-800-225-2610, or 297 High Street Dedham, MA 02026.
(They don't have it either.)
3. Yes, we have orthopedic grade, white LPDE, 1/8. We need to know the sheet
size required and amount needed. Thanks.

4. David:
You can get it from Rich Haight @ 716 424-2170 or 800 274-1000 (may be in
state only) or www.cadillacplastic.com, 3495 Winton Place Building A,
Rochester, NY, 14623. Just tell Him you want the same plastic FLO-TECH uses
for our APOPPS FLO-TECH-TOR sockets but that you need it in 1/8 thickness.
Good Luck.

5. Call Maramed 305 823 8300. If the quantity is large enough they will run
it for you.

know they supply it. you can find them in the Thomas Registrar at the
library..
