HDPE (High density polyethylene)

Polyethylene is a polymer of ethene, an organic chemical compound that is one of the basic raw materials of the petrochemical industry. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is obtained by low-pressure polymerization and is a milky white material.

The properties of HDPE include the following:

• it is harder than LDPE,
• it has high mechanical strength,
• it has high chemical resistance,
• its water absorption is low,
• it is of milky white color,
• due to its physiological neutrality it may come into contact with food,
• it is highly durable.
