HDPE is the sturdiest and most inflexible type of polyethylene within polyethylene applications. Its sturdy and moderately robust character can be used for a wide range of applications. HDPE is defined by having a density greater than or equal to .941 g/cm3.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) represents the most common portion of polyethylene applications. HDPE offers excellent impact resistance, is lightweight, has low moisture absorption, and has high tensile strength. Additionally, HDPE is also non-toxic and non-staining.
