High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a thermoplastic polymer made from the polymerization of ethylene. Characterized by its high strength-to-density ratio, it exhibits remarkable tensile strength, rigidity, and resistance to impact. The material is also known for its excellent chemical resistance, making it suitable for various applications across multiple sectors.
One of the defining features of HDPE is its low-temperature tolerance, which, together with its ability to withstand UV radiation, further extends its usability. When manipulated into granules, it becomes a versatile feedstock for manufacturing processes such as extrusion, injection moulding, and blow moulding.
