Specification of HDPE Plastic Material
High density polyethylene
is a thermoplastic polyethylene made from petroleum. Requires 1.75 kg of petroleum (as energy and raw material) to make 1 kg of HDPE.
HDPE has very little branching, this is due to the selection of catalyst types in its production (Ziegler-Natta catalyst) and reaction conditions. Due to slight branching, HDPE pipes have high tensile strength and inter-molecular forces. HDPE is also louder and can withstand high temperatures (80C).
HDPE is very resistant to chemicals so has a wide application, including:
Packing detergent
Milk packing
Fuel tanks
Plastic wood
Plastic bags
Container carrier of several types of chemicals
Geothermal heat transfer piping system
Natural gas piping system
Water pipe
Wrapping cables
