HDPE or High-Density Polyethylene is a type of thermoplastic polymer which is derived from petroleum.
With its remarkable tensile strength and high strength-to-density ratio, HDPE plastic has a high melting point and impact resistance.
HDPE is an incredibly versatile polymer that can be adjusted to change various properties. Its high crystallinity makes it less flexible than LDPE, but this also gives it better chemical resistance. HDPE offers higher abrasion and tear resistance than LDPE, with higher shear and tensile strength.
Furthermore, HDPE is known for its durability, and tear-resistance, with great resistance to solvents, fatigue, and wear, as well as zero water absorption. It is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
