High-density polyethylene, more commonly known as HDPE, is one of the most widely used variants of polymers. It was first invented in the 1930s and used in building high-frequency radar cables. As a result of high molecular density, this polymer works best where moisture resistance, strength, and cost-effectiveness are most needed. It can also be made to be more flexible depending on the scope of the requirement. Characterised by superior corrosion resistance, it is suited for storing liquids, food, and other chemical items. The components of this polymer are highly inert, making it safe for storing chemicals for an extended period. HDPE granules can be easily mixed with other additives to enhance their properties according to the requirements of the user. Some of its advantages are:
- Cost-effective
- High resistance to heat, moisture, and corrosion
- UV resistant
- Resistant to chemicals
- Can be built in different grades
- Durable
- Non-leaching
HDPE polymer is mostly used in the following applications:
Plastic containers – Water bottles are the most common form of HDPE polymers. It is perfect for blow moulding applications, particularly for food and beverage storage. It is also recyclable and does not leach.
Toys – HDPE is UV resistant and can be blow moulded into any shape we need. This makes it perfect for making toys and any other plastic-based tools.
Container for chemicals – This product also has solid chemical resistance which makes it great for cosmetics, cleaning products, motor oil, and other chemicals for industrial or domestic use.
Pipe – HDPE-based pipes can be made in various grades since it has high molecular weight. It is strong, resistant to pollutants, and can be built to suit any structure which is ideal for piping and outdoor applications.
