LK® ALL18BX – 13×4×17″ Gusseted Brown 4-Gallon Heavy-Gauge LLDPE Trash Can Liner, 0.6 Mil | 1000/CS

LK® ALL18BX – 13×4×17″ Gusseted Brown 4-Gallon Heavy-Gauge LLDPE Trash Can Liner, 0.6 Mil | 1000/CS

The LK® ALL18BX is a 13×4×17-inch gusseted brown trash can liner manufactured from 0.6-mil heavy-gauge LLDPE film. Designed for small 4-gallon receptacles requiring superior puncture and tear resistance beyond standard 0.4-mil liner performance, each case contains 1,000 liners. The heavier 0.6-mil gauge handles mixed waste streams that include light sharps, glass fragments, or dense material loads that stress standard-gauge liners during filling or removal. Brown color supports healthcare and institutional color-coded waste stream differentiation for general non-regulated waste.

What applications require the 0.6-mil heavy gauge in a 13×4×17″ brown liner?

The ALL18BX heavy-gauge liner is selected for applications where standard 0.4-mil liners are prone to stress failure — specifically mixed waste receptacles in medical procedure areas, laboratories, dental operatories, and workshop settings that generate small quantities of sharp, dense, or heavy material alongside general waste. The 13×4×17″ format targets 4-gallon wastebasket configurations in exam and procedure rooms, where heavy-gauge liner integrity reduces liner breach risk during routine waste removal cycles, supporting infection control and contamination prevention objectives.

0.6 Mil Heavy-Gauge LLDPE Film: Enhanced Puncture Resistance for Mixed Waste Streams

The 0.6-mil LLDPE formulation in ALL18BX delivers measurably higher puncture initiation and tear propagation resistance than standard 0.4-mil stock. LLDPE’s molecular structure provides greater elongation-at-break versus equivalent-weight LDPE, reducing sudden failure when sharp or dense waste contacts the liner wall. For applications in clinical, laboratory, or mixed-content waste receptacles, the step up to 0.6-mil heavy gauge provides meaningful containment reliability improvement over economy or standard gauge options without the cost of large-can heavy-duty liners.

Clinical and Laboratory Small-Can Heavy-Duty Liner Requirements

Clinical laboratories, pathology departments, dental practices, and outpatient surgical facilities require small-can liner programs that handle incidental sharps, glass slides, dense material waste, and contaminated packaging alongside routine general refuse. The LK® ALL18BX brown heavy-gauge liner fills this requirement in 4-gallon receptacles — providing a reliability step up from standard liners in settings where liner breach would create contamination and disposal protocol compliance issues. Brown color ensures these heavy-gauge liners are clearly differentiated from standard clear or white receptacles in color-coded waste programs.

Ordering LK® ALL18BX in Cases of 1,000 from NFC Bags

NFC Bags stocks LK® ALL18BX in 1,000-liner cases for healthcare supply, laboratory, and janitorial distribution buyers requiring small-can heavy-gauge liner supply. Volume pricing is available for multi-case institutional orders. The ALL18BX complements ALL18B standard-gauge liners in facilities running dual-grade liner programs across different waste stream risk levels. NFC Bags fulfills small-can heavy-gauge liner orders for individual facilities and distribution accounts without minimum quantity thresholds common to direct-manufacturer sourcing.

FDA Compliance and Recyclability of LK® Heavy-Gauge LLDPE Trash Can Liners

LK® ALL18BX LLDPE liners are manufactured in compliance with FDA food-contact regulations, providing assurance for healthcare settings where liner integrity is part of waste containment protocol. LLDPE resin (SPI code #4) is compatible with plastic film recycling programs. The 0.6-mil heavy-gauge construction uses marginally more material per liner than standard gauge — a tradeoff justified by reliability improvements in mixed-waste applications where liner failure creates handling risk exceeding the material cost differential.
