Custom Machined HDPE Parts Made Easy

Q: Is High Density Polyethylene waterproof?

The functions of the HDPE are to 1) offer part of the waterproofing shielded of the structure and 2) bring resistance of the waterproofing adhesive from the exposed and backfill substance.

Q: What is the role of HDPE?

Uses of HDPE Pipes in Water Conservation In irrigation for instance civil engineers can use the HDPE pipes to enclose canals to reduce wastage of water. Such systems minimize evaporation and seepage loss only delivering water where it is required, thus helps in saving water and in turn promotes irrigated agriculture production.

Q: What is the disadvantage of HDPE?

Disadvantages of HDPE: Makes the material prone to stress cracking. Tensile Modulus of elasticity or Stiffness is lower than Polypropylene. The properties that need to be improved include high mould shrinkage and poor UV resistance.

Q: What are the properties of HDPE?

Elastomeric, transparent/tackily waxy, antifreezes, easy tooling, compatible with most processes, lower priced, chemical proof.

Q: Is HDPE better than plastic?

It is used widely as it has a higher tensile strength and impact strength as compared to the general PE. This makes it good for the compressing of containers and products that are likely to be exposed to impacts and sudden pressures. PET is still a powerful accent but not as stiff.

Q: Can HDPE pipe be used for hot water?

conducted works, the HDPE pipe is adapted to working and environmental temperature between -40 ° F to 140 ° F, and hdpe water pipe is applicable to hot or cold water supply systems in different conditions. HDPE pipe is able to resist the effect of freezing and thawing and this does not negatively affect the pipe.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is HDPE used for?

High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) is a kind of polymer belonging to the thermoplastic group, which is derived from Petroleum. HDPE plastic is employed in a broad range of applications many successfully due to the flexibility that this plastic material holds, for instance, plastic bottles for soft drinks, milk containers, shampoo containers, bleach containers, board for cutting foodstuffs among others, and pipes for use in the transportation of fluids.
