You've got it in the bag!
WAXIE’s DuraStar™ can liners set the standard for the industry. These durable can liners are
manufactured with both linear low-density and high-density resins and are available in a variety
of sizes and colors. All DuraStar can liners have “star bottom” seals that provide exceptional
strength and performance. DuraStar’s topside dual-dispensing cartons allow you to pull from the
top or may be stacked to save space while still dispensing liners from the side.
You can trust DuraStar liners. They are clearly labeled with correct specifications so you can be
assured that you are getting the exact size, gauge, weight and count that you order. DuraStar
can liners also comply with all federal and state regulations.

What you need to know about the bag basics...
Rely on the Benefits of DuraStar™
• Highest quality raw materials
• State-of-the-art testing equipment
• Continuous research and product development
• High performance standards for tear specifications
• High performance standards for impact specifications
• High performance standards for dry/wet load capacity specifications
• Commitment to quality and support
LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) Linear Low Density Bags are used for rough or sharp objects under
tough transport conditions. These bags are very strong and are more resistant to tearing, but handle lower load
capacities than HDPE bags. Best used for:
• Sticks, rough yard trimmings, glass
• Metal with sharp edges
• Plastic eating utensils, food with rough edges
HDPE (High Density Polyethylene High Density Bags are used for paper and non-rough objects under moderate
transport conditions. These bags are very strong and handle higher load capacities than LLDPE bags, but tear
easier once punctured. Best used for:
• Cans without sharp edges, food without sharp edges
• Grass, rags, smooth heavy objects
• Paper-plates, cups, towels, office
DuraStar™ Healthcare Liners
• Made from highest quality raw materials
• Mineral reinforced to enhance physical properties
• Performance bottom seal resists leakage
• Topside dual-dispensing box
• Full-range product line
• Reliable, consistent quality
• Individually folded and coreless rolls
Advantages of Star Seal The Star Seal is the best type of seal on the market. Designed without gussets, the Star
Seal eliminates gaps along the seal where leaks can occur. This allows the bag to more easily conform to the
shape of the container and distributes refuse weight evenly inside the bag. Star Seal liners maximize the bags
carrying capacity and virtually eliminates leaks.
Packaging Topside dual-dispensing packaging packed for end-user convenience, our topside dual-dispensing
cartons were developed in response to customers’ needs. Now, cartons may be stacked to save space while still
dispensing liners with greater ease.
Advantages of Coreless Roles Coreless roles assist with portion control, so a maintenance worker knows
exactly how many are on a roll as opposed to just grabbing a handful of flat pack bags. This also is an inventory
management benefit. The bags are easier to dispense and carry due to the packaging, and can be put on a cart or
some other dispensing option (Coreless Roll Dispenser).

Glossary of Terms
Can Liner Term used for garbage, trash or waste bags. Used in indus-
trial, institutional and medical applications.
Colors Can liners come in standard colors: clear, black, white, gray,
red, blue and yellow. (Other colors available.)
Food and Utility Bags Small clear bags designed to hold a variety of
small objects (e.g., bread, poultry, vegetables, etc.)
Film Strength Refers to the physical strength of the can liner. Some
resins have a higher film strength than others. Our can liners are made
from highest quality resins, giving them the highest quality film in the
marketplace.
Dart Drop Test ASTM test used to determine the resistance of a bag
to local failure or puncturing of the film.
Elmendorf Tear Test ASTM test used to measure the resistance to
tearing.
Wet Load Capacity Measurement of how much wet weight a can
liner will hold.
Dry Load Capacity Measurement of how much dry weight a can
liner will hold.
Gauge Term used to describe thickness. LDPE and LLDPE can liners
are measured by mil thickness and HMW-HDPE can liners are mea-
sured by micron thickness.
Mil (One thousandth of an inch) Term used in the measurement of
LDPE and LLDPE can liners. One mil is 0.001". Can liners range
between 0.35 to 4.0 mil.
Micron Term used in the measurement of HMW-HD can liners. 25.4
microns equals 0.001". 1,000 microns (M) = 1 mm. HMW-HDPE
can liners are 6 to 24 microns.
Resin Short term for Polyethylene (PE) resin. The three types of PE
resins are LDPE, LLDPE and HMW-HDPE (see below). Other plastic
resins include vinyl, polypropylene, styrene and nylon.
LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) This resin was used with older can
liner technology. Resin has good clarity but weak film strength. Today
it is used primarily for Food and Utility Bags.
LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene) This is the primary
type of resin used in modern can liner manufacturing technology.
Bags made from LLDPE film provide excellent combination of film
strength, puncture resistance and tear resistance.
HMW-HDPE (High Molecular Weight–High-Density Polyethylene)
Bags made from HMW-HDPE resin provide excellent film strength
and puncture resistance, but less tear resistance than LLDPE.
HAO (Higher Alpha Olefin resin) A high-grade Hexene- or Octene-
based resin used in all DuraStar LLD liners. The properties of this
resin allow for a higher quality can liner.
Butene One of three types of LLDPE resin. Butene has weaker film
strength properties than Hexene or Octene.
Hexene One of three types of LLDPE resin. DuraStar uses Higher
Alpha Olefin (High Grade Hexene) resin in the manufacturing of
can liners. Properties include high film strength and increased tear
resistance.
Octene One of three types of LLDPE resin. DuraStar uses Higher
Alpha Olefin (High Grade Octene) in the manufacturing of can
liners. Used in other applications because of its excellent physical
properties.
Prime Resin Refers to the usage of high quality, “fresh from the
reactor,” resin. DuraStar uses only prime resins in all of the products
we produce, unless specified otherwise.
Blended Resin Refers to the combination of two or more types of
resin.
Reprocessed Resin Refers to resin that has been used at least
once before. Can be post-industrial (scrap) or post-consumer (recy-
cling). Property of resin is decreased each time it is reused.
Seal Term used to describe bottom of a can liner. The three types of
seals are flat, gusseted and star.
Flat Seal Straight seal along bottom of a can liner (looks like a pil-
low case). Though Flat Seals are strong, they may have a tendency
to leak wet trash from the corners.
Gusset Seals A flat style bag manufactured with both sides tucked
in to form gussets. Has a tendency to leak wet trash from the center
at gusset points where four layers of film meet two.
Star Seal This multilayered seal is fully gussetted and then folded
prior to sealing, allowing for the trash to be evenly distributed.
Topside Dispenser Box An innovative style of box that allows stacking
in small spaces. It is just as easy to pull a can liner from the side as it
is the top.
Individually Folded Can liners are separately folded, then stacked
on top of one another. This allows the end-user to pull liners out of
the box with much more ease vs. bulk folded bags.
Cored Rolls Can liners are rolled together on cardboard cylinders
(looks similar to a roll of paper towels). Can liners come inside a
special box that dispenses them with ease.
Coreless Rolls Can liners are rolled in groups of 25 or 50 per roll.
There are 4 to 10 rolls per case. Rolls are perforated or interleaved.

MICRONS TO MILS
APPROXIMATE GAUGE EQUIVALENTS
Plastic Type (Choose the right plastic for the right application)
Plastic Type ››Linear Low-Density Bag
Recommended for sharper objects under
tougher transport conditions. Linear Low-
Density bags have excellent resistance
to puncture and tearing.
High-Density Bag
Great for paper and non-sharp objects under
moderate transport conditions. Uses less
plastic than Linear Low-Density. Has excellent
resistance to puncture and light resistance to
tearing.
Puncture Resistance ››Good Resistance Greater Resistance
Tear Resistance ››Greater Resistance Good Resistance
Load Capacity ››Good Load Capacity Greater Load Capacity
Film thickness is no longer the standard for judging bag strength. Advanced resins and additives have allowed manufacturers to produce thinner,
lighter trash bags that are stronger than thicker bags made from lesser quality raw materials.
Static load (lifting strength) is the best way to choose bag strength. See example in Step 4.
