High-density polyethylene
High-density polyethylene, or HDPE, has a low level of branches, is high density and has strong intermolecular forces.
- Resistant to high temperatures
- High resistance to strain, compression, tractive force
- Low density compared with metals and other materials
- Impermeable
- Inert (to contents), low reactivity
- Non-toxic
- Low dimensional stability
- Bottles for: detergents, shampoo, etc.
- Bags for supermarkets
- Boxes for fish
- Drums
- Water pipes
