Material details
HDPE is a versatile, high-density thermoplastic known for its excellent impact resistance, low friction, and high chemical resistance. It’s lightweight yet robust, offering great strength-to-weight ratio. HDPE’s flexibility, dimensional stability, and ability to handle moderate temperatures make it ideal for a variety of industrial applications, including food processing, automotive, medical, and consumer goods. Common uses include bushings, seals, gears, and structural components where wear resistance and low friction are needed, such as in piping systems, marine parts, and packaging. HDPE is easy to machine with good mechanical properties, and it is highly resistant to cracking, abrasion, and corrosion, making it a go-to choice for functional, long-lasting parts.
