Product Description:
Introduction to HDPE
HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) is a widely used thermoplastic. It is produced by copolymerizing ethylene with a small amount of alpha olefin monomer. HDPE is also known as low-pressure polyethylene as it is synthesized under lower pressure. Its molecular structure is mainly linear, with few branches, high crystallinity, and high density.
Basic Information
HDPE, with its linear molecular structure and high crystallinity, is a non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless white particle. It has a melting point of about 130 ℃ and a relative density ranging from 0.941 to 0.960. The material exhibits good heat and cold resistance, maintaining its performance within the temperature range of -40 ℃ to 100 ℃.
Chemical Properties
HDPE showcases excellent chemical stability and remains insoluble in any organic solvents at room temperature. It is resistant to acids, alkalis, and various salt corrosion. However, HDPE can be dissolved in hydrocarbon solvents above 60 ℃.
Mechanical Properties
HDPE possesses high rigidity and toughness, along with good mechanical strength. It offers outstanding stress cracking resistance, excellent wear resistance, and a service life in water environments that is four times longer than steel pipes.
