HDPE Plastic Injection Moulding
High-density resin used for past that require excellent durability and strong impact resistance
What is HDPE?
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a resin found typically in pellet form, intended to be used in injection moulding applications designed to withstand high impact, possess high-stress crack resistance, and have extreme durability. HDPE is also designed to provide excellent processability for moulders.
What is HDPE Used For?
Applications using HDPE are highly sustainable due to the resin's extreme durability. High-density polyethylene's high strength-to-density composition and versatility make it an extremely popular plastic that serves the needs of a wide array of industries.
- Industrial pails and parts
- Shipping containers
- Moulded crates
- Cases
- Totes
- Parts that require high modulus
