HDPE
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is known for its large strength-to-density ratio. The density of HDPE can range from 0.93 to 0.97 g/cm3 or 970 kg/m3. HDPE has little branching, giving it stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength than LDPE. It is also harder and more opaque and can withstand somewhat higher temperatures (120 °C/ 248 °F for short periods). HDPE has a high chemical resistance making it a suitable material for containing chemicals, fuels, detergents and solvents.
FM Plastics has both unaddivated base material and more advanced HDPE composites. Under grades we list standard materials we have continously available. Additionally we produce custom made compounds and premixes that meet specific customer demands starting at 99 ton.
