HDPE

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is used in a variety of applications and industries where excellent impact resistance, high tensile strength, low moisture absorption and chemical and corrosion-resistance properties are required.

The material is also moisture, stain, and odor resistant, and is FDA approved for use in the food processing industry. HDPE has good insulation properties and is easy to weld. The operating temperature is from -58 °F to +194 °F.
