High Density Polyethylene HDPE material

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyethylene high-density (PEHD) is a thermoplastic polymer produced from the monomer ethylene. it is sometimescalled "akathene" or "polythene" when used for HDPE pipes.

 

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) 

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a thermoplastic polymer produced from the monomer ethylene. it is sometimescalled "akathene" or "polythene" when used for HDPE pipes. with a high strength-to-density ratio, HDPE is used in the production of plastic sheetbottles,corrosion-resistant piping, geomembranes and plastic lumbe, HDPE is commonly recycled, and has the number "2" as its resin identificationcode.

HDPE is known for its high strength-to-density ratio. The density of HDPE ranges from 930 to 970 kg/m3. The standard method to test plastic density is ISO 1183 part 2 (gradient columns), alternatively ISO 1183 part 1 (MVS2PRO density analyzer). Although the density of HDPE is only marginally higher than that of low-density polyethylene, HDPE has little branching, giving it stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength (38 MPa versus 21 MPa) than LDPE. The difference in strength exceeds the difference in density, giving HDPE a higher specific strength. It is also harder and more opaque and can withstand somewhat higher temperatures (120℃/248 F for short periods). High-density polyethylene, unlike polypropylene, cannot withstand normally required autoclaving conditions. The lack of branching is ensured by an appropriate choice of catalyst (e.g., Ziegler-Natta catalysts) and reaction conditions.
HDPE is resistant to many different solvents, so it cannot be glued. Pipe joints must be made by welding.  
The physical properties of HDPE can vary depending on the molding process that is used to manufacture a specific sample; to some degree, a determining factor is the international standardized testing methods employed to identify these properties for a specific process. For example, in rotational molding, to identify the environmental stress crack resistance of a sample, the notched constant tensile load test (NCTL) is put to use.

High Density Polyethylene HDPE material

As a thermoplastic sheet manufacturer in China, Abosn can supplyboth single color and Dual-color HDPE sheets to suit customerdemands. We own the most advanced Extrusion machines to extrudeHDPE sheets with fixed material under certain pressure and tempera-ture.HDPE Sheet has an almost waxy feel to it and is pretty good at beinga low friction wear strip material and is used probably more than anyother plastic as a wear strip on conveyors or production lines of huge companies. While it is difficult to bond effectively to anything, which means that HDPE Sheet will need to be physically or mechanically fixed in place using screws etc.
