I. HDPE Description

HDPE is used in a variety of applications and industries where excellent impact resistance, high tensile strength, low moisture absorption and chemical and corrosion resistance properties are required.

II. HDPE Characteristics

Advantages:

Ø  Resists organic solvents, degreasing agents & electrolytic attack.

Ø  Excellent chemical resistance.

Ø  Good Fatigue & Wear Resistance

Ø  Good electrical insulation

Ø  High flexibility (also at low temperature)

Ø  The machanical strength of surface hardness , stretching intensity and rigidity is higher than LDPE.

Ø  Good protection against stress cracking

Ø  Super low water absorption

Ø  Low steam permeability

Ø  Food safe
  

III.  HDPE Applications

Ø  Fishing nets

Ø  Commodity housing, non-load bearing components

Ø  Conveyor components subject to high wea and requiring low friction

Ø  Componentry in direct contact with food stuffs

Ø  Parts subject to high impact stresses

Ø  Gear, roller, bushing
