Introduction of HDPE material

HDPE or High-Density Polyethylene, also known as polyethene high density (PEHD) is a thermoplastic that is made from petroleum. When used for pipes, it is also sometimes called ‘alkathene’ or ‘polythene’. It has several advantages such as low cost, quick fabrication, corrosion resistant etc.

Following are some of its features:

1. High-density polyethene is highly resistant to chemicals.
2. It has several advantages over LDPE and PVC.
3. It has better tensile strength and higher softening point.
4. The pipes made from HDPE are manufactured using the extrusion process.
5. Some of the favourite uses of HDPE included low-pressure natural gas services, water distribution and used a lining material in carbon steel pipe.
