High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
Rigidity and tensile strength of the HDPE resins are considerably higher than those of the low and medium density materials. Impact strength is slightly lower, as is to be expected in a stiffer material. Values remain high, however, especially at low temperatures, when compared to those of many other thermoplastic materials.
HDPE APPLICATIONS Applications of HDPE range from film products to large, blow molded industrial containers. The largest market area is in blow molded containers for packaging milk, fruit juices, water, detergents and various household and industrial liquid products. Other major uses include high-quality, injection molded housewares, industrial pails, food containers and tote boxes; extruded water and gas distribution pipe, wire insulation and structuralfoam housings.
Mechanically ground HDPE resins are used to rotationally mold large, complex shaped products such as fuel tanks, trash containers, dump carts, pallets, agricultural tanks, highway barriers and water and waste tanks for RVs. Additionally, HDPE sheet is often extruded with a pebble finish and is used as a cutting board in a variety of industry markets (meat packing, butchering, etc.), as well as for home use.
Additional applications for HDPE include the following:
• Cultured marble molds
• Cheese molds
• Trays used for frozen foods
• Kickplates used on the inside wall of horse trailers
• Support bracings for golf bags
• Backpacks
• Structural tanks
• Industrial piping systems
