Correct Sizing of Trash Can Liners

Choose the right trash can liner for the right application

	Puncture Resistance	Tear Resistance	Load Capacity

Linear Low Density Can Liner Recommended for sharper objects under tougher transport conditions. Linear low density trash can liners have excellent resistance to punctures and tearing.	Good Resistance	Greater Resistance	Good Load capacity

High Density Trash Can Liner Great for paper and non-sharp objects under moderate transportation conditions. Uses less plastic than linear low density can liners. High density plastic trash can liners have excellent resistance to puncture and high resistance to tearing.	Greater Resistance	Good Resistance	Greater Load capacity

Approximate Gauge Equivalents Static load (lifting strength) is the best way to choose can liner strength. Below are the approximate gauge equivalents for static load
	Linear Low Density Liner		High Density Liner

	Refuse Weight	.30 - .35 Mil	Refuse	6 Mic

	Light Weight	.36 - .49 Mil	Light	7 - 9 Mic

	Medium Weight	.50 - .60 Mil	Medium	10 - 12 MIC

	Heavy Weight	.61 - .74 Mil	Heavy	13 - 14 MIC

	Extra Heavy	.75 - .80 Mil	Extra Heavy	15 - 17 MIC

	Super Tuf	.81 - 1.0 Mil	XX Heavy	18 - 24 MIC

	Super Heavy	1.1 - 1.2 Mil

	XX Heavy	1.3 - 1.9 Mil

	XXX Heavy	2.0 - 3.0 Mil

Understanding Gauge Thickness: Gauge is a term used to describe thickness. Film thickness is no longer the standard for judging plastic can liner strength. Advanced resins and additives have allowed manufacturers to produce thinner, lighter can liners that are stronger than thicker trash can liners made from lesser quality materials. Linear Low-Density Can Liners (LLD) are measured by mil thickness; High-Density Can Liners (HD) are measured by Micron thickness.

Mil (one thousandth of an inch) - One mil equals .001". Can liners range between .35 to 4.0 mils

Micron - 25.4 microns equals .001". 1,000 microns (M) is 1mm. Can liners range between 5 to 24 microns
