Plastics Group Polifil® RP-HDPE High Density Polyethylene
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); High Density (HDPE); High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Injection Molded

Material Notes: Polifil® RP-High Density Polyethylene is a moderate stiffness material that retains excellent toughness. HDPE exhibits outstanding chemical resistance and environmental stress crack resistance. Injection molding applications range from small containers and lids to large crates and bins. Low melt flow versions are used for blow molded bottles for milk, cosmetics, and chemicals, and in extruded items such as pipes and profiles. High molecular weight (HMW) grades are increasingly used for high strength blown films, and large blow molded items such as drums, water tanks, and toys.
