One of the three most used types of polyethylene on the market is HDPE sheets, the abbreviation for High Density Polyethylene. This type of plastic belongs to the group of petroleum thermoplastics with a structure consisting of a linear structure where branches grow. This structure makes HDPE durable, hard and dense. A summary of the typical properties of HDPE plastic include high impact resistance, low water absorption, and excellent chemical resistance. HDPE sheets are ranked as the top choice from industrial environments to construction projects and packaging solutions. The reason for this popularity is because HDPE sheets help reduce material wastage in both the production and consumption processes. It is easy to see HDPE sheets delivered as a solid, flat plastic sheet and a number of other compressed shapes because they are easy to frame and shape.
Compared to many other plastic lines, HDPE plastic sheets are considered to possess many superior features. HDPE plastic sheets meet applications requiring high durability, good impact resistance, moisture resistance and long-term chemical resistance. Because of the above features, HDPE plastic sheets are not only applied in many products but also in a variety of fields.
One of the most popular applications of HDPE plastic sheets is in the packaging industry. Some applications include the following:
Boxes, bottles, jars: thanks to their good anti-corrosion and antibacterial properties, HDPE plastic sheets become essential in the production of cosmetic bottles, shampoos, shower gels, detergents, water bottles, and a variety of food containers.
Product protection: thanks to its excellent hardness and impact resistance, HDPE plastic sheets are also used to produce containers, pallets, and plastic trays to protect products during transportation and long-term storage.
Packaging films and bags: Although very stiff, HDPE plastic sheets are easy to shape, even into thin films. This is one of the great applications to produce packaging and protective bags for a variety of products.
For the technical industry, HDPE plastics sheets demonstrate excellent durability, toughness, and resistance in highly abrasive environments. Some applications include the following:
Piping: thanks to its hardness and outstanding chemical resistance, HDPE plastic sheets can be used in installing complex piping systems from civil pipes, medical waste pipes, to mining pipes.
Tanks and protective screens: many applications such as tanks or ponds and lagoons will require the durability of HDPE plastic sheets. This material can withstand good pressure, is easy to install and maintain, thereby maintaining the durability of the project for an ideal period.
Conveyor components: typical applications such as wear strips, chain guides, and guide rails when using HDPE plastic sheets will create a surface with low friction and significantly reduced wear.
A durable material, good weather resistance over many years, flexible, chemical resistant and easy to shape are always the top criteria in the construction industry. Some applications of HDPE plastic sheets can be listed as follows:
Wall panels: HDPE plastic sheets are always the optimal choice for wall panels in buildings, apartments, and offices. Wall panels can be easily designed into many designs, reduce weight and are durable over time. Sometimes, HDPE plastic sheets are also used to make insulation panels for roofs, walls, and floors.
Sewer pipes: due to the flexibility, corrosion resistance and long-term durability of HDPE plastic sheets, they are utilized in the design and installation of consumer water pipes and wastewater of building systems.
Technical lining: often used in landfills, reservoir partitions and canals to help improve the ability to prevent leakage and contamination between substances.
