HDPE

Name: HDPE

CAS: 9002-88-4

Feature:

HDPE is a vinyl polymer made from ethylene. It can be branched or linear. Branched or low-density polyethylene is tough and pliable but not to the same degree as linear polyethylene. Linear or high-density polyethylene has a greater hardness and tensile strength. HDPE is used in a variety of products, including implants and prostheses.

HDPE is a thermoplastic polymer produced from the monomer ethylene. It is sometimes called “alkathene” or “polythene” when used for HDPE pipes. With a high strength-to-density ratio, HDPE is used in the production of plastic bottles, corrosion-resistant piping, geomembranes and plastic lumber. HDPE is commonly recycled, and has the number “2″ as its resin identification code. In 2007, the global HDPE market reached a volume of more than 30 million tons.

HDPE has the following applications/functions:

1. HDPE has a wide variety of applications; for applications that fall within the properties of other polymers, the choice to use HDPE is usually economic.

2. HDPE is known for its high strength-to-density ratio. 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 °C/248 °F for short periods).

3. HDPE is used in the production of agricultural, food and industrial packaging films.

4. HDPE is also used in the production of wire and cable coatings and coatings, and synthetic paper.
