Product Overview
HDPE- Commodity Thermoplastic
HDPE, or high-density polyethylene, is a versatile and widely used thermoplastic. Known for its strength and resistance to chemicals, HDPE is used in a variety of applications. Its ability to withstand extreme conditions without breaking down has made it a favorite choice for products that need to last a long time and perform well under pressure. Additionally, HDPE is weather resistant, withstanding extreme temperatures and UV radiation without degrading. It is also recyclable, machinable and available in various forms, colors, and thicknesses.
Features and Benefits:
- Food Safe: Food safe grades available great for food handling surfaces.
- wear resistance: Can withstand wear and abrasion making it perfect for conveyors and wear pads.
- Chemical Resistance: Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids and solvents, ensuring longevity and reliability.
