HDEP
Overview
HDPE, also known as high-density polyethylene resin, has good heat distortion temperature, excellent processability and stiffness, etc. It is suitable for injection molding, powder coating and masterbatch granulation of thin-walled products. Both LDPE and HDPE belong to PE plastic. But HDPE has higher density, harder texture and higher temperature resistance.
Q: What is HDPE?
A: High-density polyethylene is highly crystalline, so it appears opaque in appearance and has higher hardness. It is precisely because of its high strength and opacity that dairy products often prefer this kind of plastic. This kind of plastic has excellent water and oil resistance, so it has a wide range of adaptability. Generally, it will be easily deformed above 100 degrees Celsius. This kind of plastic is also particularly resistant to alkali and corrosion, so it is also widely used in industry.
Q: What are the features of HDPE?
- Easily meltable, and moldable
- Excellent tensile strength
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- High impact resistance
- Great weather resistance
- Good electrical insulation
- Good wear resistance
- Great resistance to acid, alkali and corrosion
- Contains no BPA, phthalates, and heavy metals
Q: What are the applications of HDPE?
A: New HPDE is used to make detergent bottles, diary containers, food storage containers, sun shade net, 3-D printing filament, pallets, storage boxes, electrical wires, and cables. In recycled form, HDPE is used to produce bike racks, furniture, benches, trash cans, and pipes.
Q: Can HDPE be recycled?
A: High-density polyethylene is a thermoplastic, which is non-toxic, and tasteless.When heated to the melting point, the waste HDPE can be recycled and reused. Therefore, not all "plastics" are not environmentally friendly. The recycling code of HDPE is 2 no. Waste HDPE needs to go through different processes to become recycled material ready for reuse. It is washed, crushed, melted, and then made into plastic particles. The particles can be used as material for triangular cones, flower pots, garbage cans, water pipes, chairs and other products.
