Overview

HDPE is a highly crystalline non-polar thermoplastic resin produced through the copolymerization of ethylene and a small amount of α-olefin monomer. HDPE is synthesized under low pressure and is therefore also called low-pressure polyethylene. HDPE is mainly a linear molecular structure and has little branching. It has a high degree of crystallization and high density. It can withstand high temperatures and has good rigidity and mechanical strength and anti-chemical corrosion. Produces a full grade of HDPE, which cover all fields of HDPE applications, including film, blow-molding, extrusion molding, injection molding, pipes, wire & cable and base material for producing chlorinated polyethylene.

Applications

HDPE is suitable for many plastic molding methods. Blow molding can be used for making various types of bottles, cans and industrial tanks and barrels. Injection molding is used for making various containers and goods of daily use, such as basins, barrels and baskets and furniture. Extrusion molding is used for making pipes, strapping tapes, fibers and single filaments and can also be used for making wires & cables covering materials and synthetic paper. After a large amount of inorganic filler is added, HDPE can also be used as an alternative to timber and cardboards for making calcium plastic packing containers, furniture, doors and windows.
