HDPE is a highly crystalline and non-polar thermoplastic resin. The original appearance of HDPE is milky white, with a certain degree of semi transparency in the thin section. PE has excellent resistance to most household and industrial chemicals. Certain types of chemicals can cause chemical corrosion, such as corrosive oxidants (concentrated nitric acid), aromatic hydrocarbons (xylene), and halogenated hydrocarbons (carbon tetrachloride). This polymer is non hygroscopic and has good water vapor resistance, making it suitable for packaging purposes. HDPE has excellent electrical properties, especially high insulation dielectric strength, making it very suitable for wires and cables. Medium to high molecular weight grades have excellent impact resistance, even at room temperature and low temperatures of -40F. The unique characteristics of various grades of HDPE are the appropriate combination of four basic variables: density, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and additives. Different catalysts are used to produce customized special performance polymers. These variables are combined to produce HDPE grades for different purposes; Achieve the optimal balance in performance.
