HDPE
High Density Poly Ethylene
Heavy polyethylene or HDPE is one of the types of polyethylene materials, which has a higher density and molecular weight than other compounds, and therefore it is known as heavy polyethylene. This type of polyethylene has a density of 0.941 to 0.965, and for this reason it is classified in the thermoplastic material category.

HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is an oil-based thermoplastic polymer that has permeated almost every aspect of our lives. This thermoplastic is used to make many items such as food containers, bottles of beverage products (milk), pipes, plastic boards and even in some shoe parts. HDPE is also used in more complex devices such as wood-plastic composites, 3D printer filament, and medical devices. In the continuation of this article, we will discuss the plastic coating in detail, its application and benefits.
Why HDPE ?
Heavy polyethylene began to be produced in the UK during the 1930s, but became more popular and widely used when it began to be produced in the US during the 1950s. Today, polyethylene is the most widely used type of plastic available in the market. HDPE is lightweight, strong, and durable.
This polyethylene is popular because it offers us special features such as the following:
- Easy construction
- High melting point
- High impact resistance
- Good chemical resistance
- Outstanding tensile strength
- Great strength-to-density ratio
- Conforms to FDA food and drug standards
- The possibility of making different formats and dimensions
