High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) specifiactions

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) has excellent chemical resistance and good mechanical properties. This material is used where high strength, durability, and impact resistance are required. HDPE is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for various industrial applications. However, it is not suitable for high-temperature applications. Temperature range: -50°C to +80°C.
