Plastic recycling news
Polyethylene is both the simplest possible polymer structure and one of the most versatile polymers. It consists of CH2 only in repeating units, but even with this simple basic structure, a wide variety of materials can be formed by variations in molecular weight (MW), distribution MW, branching, and monomer coherence.
Variations in MW can have consequences for the process: extremely high MW cannot be handled. Long- or short-chain branching reduces crystallinity and results in lower Young's Modulus, higher ductility, and lower density.(see more: HDPE Blowing Grade)
HDPE has a low level
The total production volume of all PE grades is the highest among polymers, and HDPE is one of the cheapest among polymers.
Applications
- Industry: Industrial fluid handling pipes and valves, tanks, chemical vessels and tanks, waste containers,
- Infrastructure: water and wastewater pipelines, gas pipelines, oil and gas pipelines, geomembranes.(see more: HDPE Film Roll )
- Food field: blow molded beverage containers, lids and lids, cutting boards, crates.
- Automotive sector: fuel tanks and fuel intake pipes.
- House / garden: waste containers, pipes, ponds, floors made of wood polymer compounds on HDPE background.( see more: HDPE Drum Regrind )
