About HDPE
A linear polymer, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is prepared from ethylene by a
catalytic process. The absence of branching results in a more closely packed
structure with a higher density and somewhat higher chemical resistance than
LDPE. HDPE is also somewhat harder and more opaque and it can withstand rather
higher temperatures (120° Celsius for short periods, 110° Celsius continuously).
High density polyethylene lends itself particularly well to blow molding, e.g.
for bottles, cutting boards, dipping baskets, dippers, trays and containers.
HDPE Resistance
-
Excellent resistance (no attack) to dilute and concentrated Acids, Alcohols
and Bases.
-
Good resistance (minor attack) to
Aldehydes, Esters, Aliphatic and Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Ketones and Mineral
and Vegetable Oils.
-
Limited resistance (moderate attack and suitable for short term use only) to
Halogenated Hydrocarbons and Oxidizing Agents.
HDPE Fabrication
-
Excellent for any food related products, FDA, NSF, and USDA approved for direct
contact. This material machines extremely well.
-
Good chemical resistance and high rigidity
make it a good choice for trays and tanks.
-
Other uses include pipe fittings, wear plates, hinges and cutting boards.
-
Good impact resistance, light weight, very low moisture absorption, and high
tensile strength. Not a good candidate for gluing. Mechanical fastening is one
option, but preferably joined by hot air or nitrogen welding. Also, Ultrasonic,
Laser, and infrared welding.
