HDPE
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) White is a high-density polyethylene material derived from petroleum. The name comes from the abbreviation of the English equivalent "High Density Polyethylene." This term is commonly used in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Approximately 1.75 kg of petroleum yields 1 kg of HDPE raw material. Although HDPE appears similar to LDPE, it is much harder, and is a polymer with a molecular weight ranging between 150,000 and 400,000. It has good resistance to water and chemicals. Its mechanical properties are excellent, particularly in terms of impact and tensile strength. Normally, its tensile strength is around 225-350 kgf/cm². It can withstand temperatures above 100 °C and also has self-lubricating properties. It is suitable for various forming methods such as injection molding, extrusion, powder coating, film drawing, and rotational molding. Keeping the injection mold temperature between 50-70 °C enhances the quality of the product produced by the device. HDPE is also highly suitable for electrical applications.
