HDPE
HDPE
High-Density Polyethylene is one of the world’s most popular plastics. HDPE plastics are flexible, translucent/waxy, weatherproof, good low-temperature toughness (to -60 c), easy to process by most methods, low cost, good chemical and are corrosion resistant.
It has low moisture absorption, is easy to fabricate and machine, and is low weight.

Types
Filim
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) films are versatile and widely used for various applications. They are known for their toughness, resistance to moisture, and chemical stability.
HDPE films are used for greenhouse covers, silage bags, and mulching films in agriculture.
They also serve in the production of bags, liners, and wrapping materials due to their strength and flexibility.
Pipes
HDPE pipes are durable, corrosion-resistant, and offer excellent flow characteristics, making them a preferred choice for various piping applications.
HDPE pipes are commonly used for water distribution systems due to their resistance to corrosion and abrasion. They are suitable for transporting natural gas and other gases.
Blow Molding
HDPE blow molding involves shaping molten plastic into hollow objects. HDPE’s high molecular weight contributes to its excellent impact resistance.
HDPE blow molding is used for manufacturing bottles for beverages, household cleaners, and personal care products. Large industrial containers and drums are often made using HDPE blow molding.
Injection Molding
HDPE injection molding allows for the creation of intricate and detailed plastic products with high precision and consistency.
This technique is used for producing components like bumpers, fuel tanks, and interior parts. Houseware items such as storage containers, buckets, and kitchenware are manufactured through HDPE injection molding.
Caps & Closures
HDPE is a popular material for caps and closures due to its strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals.
HDPE caps are commonly used for sealing bottles containing beverages like water, juice, and dairy products. HDPE closures are utilized for sealing pharmaceutical containers, ensuring product safety.
