High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a versatile, thermoplastic polymer known for its high strength-to-density ratio. It is one of the most widely used materials in the plastics industry, offering chemical resistance, processability, and mechanical strength.

general information

HDPE, or High-Density Polyethylene, is a type of polyethylene plastic that is known for its high density, strength, and durability. It has a higher molecular weight and a lower degree of branching than other types of polyethylene, which gives it greater strength and chemical resistance. HDPE is commonly used in applications where these properties are essential, such as in containers, pipes, geomembranes, and injection-molded products. It is also recyclable, which makes it an environmentally-friendly choice. HDPE is resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and temperature changes, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

Description:

Some typical applications for HDPE Film:

  • Container manufacturing: Bottles, jars, and drums for food, beverages, and industrial chemicals
  • Pipe manufacturing: Water, sewage, and natural gas pipelines
  • Geomembranes: Landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and industrial ponds
  • Injection-molded products: Household items, toys, and automotive parts
  • Film and sheet manufacturing: Packaging materials, geotextiles, and signage
  • Agricultural applications: Irrigation systems, silage bags, and livestock feed containers
  • Transportation: Bus interiors, fuel tanks, and automotive parts
  • Construction: Pipes, fittings, and geomembranes for drainage and waterproofing systems
