Description

Polyethylene is a common thermoplastic resin typically used for injection molding applications. Polymers with densities ranging from .941 to .965 and over are considered
high density. High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) has a high impact strength
with a higher operating temperature than LDPE. HDPE has excellent tensile
strength, energy consumption, abrasion resistance, and resistance to stress
cracks, and good chemical resistance and electrical properties.
Injection-molded HDPE is resistant to warpage and distortion.
