Liner Selection Guide

Helpful Formulas:

• Mils vs. Microns
  • Mil – A unit of measurement in thousandths of an inch. (i.e., .001 = one thousandth of an inch or 1.0 mil). Generally used to designate the thickness of LLDPE, or "Low Density" products.
  • Mic – Short for micron, one thousandth of a millimeter. Generally used to designate the thickness of HDPE, or "High Density" products.
• For the EXACT conversion:
  • Mils to Microns: (Number of Mils) x 25.4 (i.e., .75 mil = 19 microns).
  • Microns to Mils: (Number of Microns) / 25.4 (i.e., 14 microns = .55 mil).
• For the approximate strength equivalents:
  • LL to HD

    Mil. - Low Density	Mic. - High Density
    0.4 - 0.45	6
    0.6 - 0.75	8 - 10
    0.75 - 0.95	10 - 13
    0.95 - 1.1	13 - 16
    1.1 - 1.5	16 - 18
    1.5 - 1.8	16 - 25
