Most LDPE, MDPE and HDPE types have excellent chemical resistance, which means they are not attacked by strong acids or strong bases and resist oxidants and light reducing agents. The crystals are insoluble at room temperature. Polyethylene (except cross-linked polyethylene) can usually be dissolved at high temperatures in aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene or xylene, or in chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethane or trichlorobenzene.

HDPE is not only versatile, but also popular. Here is why:

It is light but super durable. That’s why a 2-ounce HDPE milk bottle can contain a gallon of milk. And why do many Car manufacturer use HDPE fuel tanks – the lighter weight of cars can help increase fuel efficiency.

– It withstands bumps.

– It is durable and weather resistant

– It fights against mold, mildew, rot, and insects, so it’s great for underground pipes used to provide water.

– And it’s easily molded into almost any shape, providing one of the main benefits of most plastics: toughness.

Like many other plastics, HDPE scraps often replaces heavier materials, in part because our society and many companies are pursuing sustainability goals, such as reducing the amount of materials used in packaging and production. Products. For example, a recent study of six types of packaging showed that plastics could provide more food with less waste, use less energy and and provide less global warming. significantly compared to other alternative methods.
