HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) is a widely used thermoplastic made by copolymerizing ethylene with a small amount of alpha olefin monomer. It is also known as low-pressure polyethylene due to being synthesized under lower pressure. The molecular structure of HDPE is mainly linear with few branches, high crystallinity, and high density.
HDPE is a non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless white particle with a melting point of about 130°C and a relative density of 0.941-0.960. It exhibits good heat and cold resistance, maintaining excellent performance in the temperature range of -40°C to 100°C.
HDPE demonstrates good chemical stability and is insoluble in any organic solvents at room temperature. It shows resistance against acid, alkali, and various salt corrosion, but it is susceptible to dissolution in hydrocarbon solvents above 60°C.
HDPE possesses high rigidity and toughness, good mechanical strength, exceptional stress cracking resistance, excellent wear resistance, and a service life four times longer than that of steel pipes in water environments.
