    HDPE

    HDPE is a type of plastic made from petroleum. It is known for its strength, flexibility, chemical resistance, and ability to withstand both low and high temperatures. HDPE has a density slightly higher than LDPE but less branching, giving it greater tensile strength. It is widely used in applications like irrigation systems, water pipes, electrical insulation, and containers due to its durability and moisture resistance. HDPE is manufactured through a process of heating and polymerizing ethane and benzene, then shaping and cooling the material into final products like pipes or sheets.

    What is HDPE?
    • HDPE is a high density polyethylene from petroleu
    m by a catalytic process.
    • It is a thermoplastic which is famous for its tensile s
    trength.
    • Its unique properties can stand high temperatures.
    • HDPE is commonly recycled, and has the number
    "2" as it's resin identification code
    Properties
    • Flexible,
    • translucent/waxy,
    • weatherproof,
    • good low temperature toughness (to -60'C),
    • easy to process by most methods,
    • low cost,
    • good chemical resistance.
    Properties
    • HDPE is known for its large strength to density ratio.
    • The density of HDPE can range from 930 to 970 kg/m3.
    • Although the density of HDPE is only marginally higher than that of lo
    w-density polyethylene,
    • HDPE has little branching, giving it stronger intermolecular forces and t
    ensile strength than LDPE. The difference in strength exceeds the differ
    ence in density, giving HDPE a higher specific strength.
    • It is also harder and more opaque and can withstand somewhat highe
    r temperatures (120 °C/ 248 °F for short periods).
    • High-density polyethylene, cannot withstand normally required autocl
    aving conditions.
    • The lack of branching is ensured by an appropriate choice of catalyst
    (e.g., Ziegler-Natta catalysts) and reaction conditions.
    • PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    • Tensile Strength 0.20 - 0.40 N/mm²
    • Notched Impact Strength no break Kj/m²
    • Thermal Coefficient of expansion 100 - 220 x 10-6
    • Max Cont Use Temp 65 oc
    • RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS
    • Dilute Acid ****
    • Dilute Alkalis ****
    • Oils and Greases ** variable
    • Aliphatic Hydrocarbons *
    • Aromatic Hydrocarbons *
    • Halogenated Hydrocarbons *
    • Alcohols ****
    • KEY * poor ** moderate *** good **** very good

    Manufacturing process
    • Production of wood-plastic composites is the most common form of HDPE manufact
    ure. The process starts with three large heated holding tanks.
    • The primary tank contains a natural gas derivative called ethane. Ethane is heated t
    o well above boiling point and is then pumped into a mixing tank.
    • From the other tank comes benzene, which, when combined with UV radiation from
    overhead lamps, serves to act as a chemical for the polymerization of the ethane.
    • This is, for all intents and purposes, how polyethylene is made, but how it is treated
    next is what makes it high density polyethylene.
    • The chemical is pumped into a series of wide, shallow board-like metal troughs. Inste
    ad of being allowed to cool, the chemical is cooked at a low heat to allow for the rele
    ase of captured air and oxygen.
    • From here, the troughs drain into a series of upright metal molds which contain shre
    dded wood fiber.
    • Once allowed to cool for roughly eight hours, the HDPE boards can be shipped to ret
    ailers and wholesalers.
