MY YARD Nature White LDPE Sheets
Flexible, durable LDPE sheets for casting moulds: they capture fine detail like silicone, epoxy resin does not stick to them, and one mould can be reused hundreds of times.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is light, flexible and strong. It reproduces fine detail similar to silicone and does not stick to resin (epoxy) objects. According to MY YARD, silicone moulds typically last about 20 uses, while LDPE moulds can be reused hundreds of times or serve as permanent moulds.
LDPE is sensitive to high forming pressure and can break above 60 kPa. Reduce the suction power and use the Microporous Forming Bed for the best results.
Key Specifications
| Specification | MY YARD Nature White LDPE |
|---|---|
| Material | LDPE (low-density polyethylene), nature white |
| Thickness | 1.5 mm |
| Pre-heating | Not necessary |

| Application temperature | -40 to 90 °C |
| Properties | Non-stick (does not stick to epoxy resin); food safe |
| Forming note | May break above 60 kPa: reduce suction and use the microporous forming bed |
| Packs | 300 × 205 mm: 10 sheets 500 × 300 mm: 10 sheets |
Which FORMART does each pack fit?
| Pack | Fits | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 mm · 300 × 205 mm · 10-pack | FORMART S | FORMART SE and FORMART 2 with the included size-switching kit |
| 1.5 mm · 500 × 300 mm · 10-pack | FORMART SE, FORMART 2 | Does not fit FORMART S |
300 × 205 mm (A4-size) packs are the FORMART S size and also fit the FORMART SE and FORMART 2 via their size-switching kit. 500 × 300 mm packs use the full format of the FORMART SE and FORMART 2 and are too large for the FORMART S.
Typical Uses
- Resin (epoxy) casting moulds
- Handmade soap moulds
- Plaster and concrete moulds
- Detailed reproduction moulds
Using it with 3D-printed moulds
Form LDPE over a 3D-printed master to make a reusable casting mould without silicone. Because epoxy does not stick to LDPE, the cast part comes away cleanly and the mould can be used again and again.
Questions About LDPE Sheets
Can LDPE replace silicone for resin casting?
For many moulds, yes. LDPE captures fine detail similar to silicone, epoxy resin does not stick to it, and MY YARD reports LDPE moulds can be reused hundreds of times, against about 20 uses for a typical silicone mould.
Why does my LDPE sheet break during forming?
The forming pressure is too high. LDPE can break above 60 kPa: lower the suction power and use the Microporous Forming Bed.
Which pack fits my FORMART?
The 300 × 205 mm pack fits the FORMART S, and the FORMART SE and FORMART 2 with their size-switching kit. The 500 × 300 mm pack fits the FORMART SE and FORMART 2 only.

Pallet deliveries
- The carrier will contact you to arrange a delivery day, so please give a phone number that will be answered.

- If your address has restricted access (no truck access, a narrow street, no loading area) or you need a tail-lift, please contact us before ordering.
- Check the pallet before signing. Note any visible damage on the delivery note and send us photos within 24 hours.
- If a delivery fails because no one is available or the address cannot be accessed, redelivery and storage may be charged.

EU, including mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands: VAT is included in the price you pay at checkout. Nothing further is due on delivery.
Outside the EU VAT area, including the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla: all orders ship on DAP (Delivered at Place) terms. We pay for export clearance and transport to your address. Import duties, import taxes (such as VAT, IGIC or IPSI) and customs clearance fees are not included and are paid by the recipient.
- Parcels: UPS will contact you to arrange payment of any duties and taxes before delivery.

If a shipment is refused or not cleared through customs, the return freight and any costs incurred will be deducted from any refund.
