HDPE — High Density Polyethylene
HDPE is a high-density polyethylene with high stiffness, good chemical resistance and good impact resistance.
What is HDPE?
HDPE is a high-density polyethylene with high stiffness, good chemical resistance and good impact resistance.
Typical properties

Processing
Blow moulding, injection moulding, pipe and profile extrusion, film extrusion. MFI, density and ESCR are the decisive parameters.
