High density polyethylene or HDPE is a thermoplastic polymer produced from the monomer ethylene
Why are we going to talk about High Density Polyethylene? Logic Packing, as a bottle supplier, has bottles and closures in its wide range that are made of the material HDPE. To give you a good idea of the material and quality, we will go through the most important properties.
It is sometimes referred to as "alkathene" or "polythene" when used for HDPE pipes. HDPE has stronger intermolecular forces and contains ethylene molecules.
What kind of material is HDPE?
Polyethylene is a crystalline thermoplastic that falls under the group of polyolefins
The version of HDPE is known in black and white. HDPE is resistant to sunlight (UV radiation) and other weather influences.
The HDPE material does not absorb moisture and has a moisture-repellent effect.
In addition, it can be used at temperatures from -30°C to +80°C. So we can say that HDPE material is weather resistant. HDPE is produced from polyethylene granules.
Why HDPE for your bottles and closures?
HDPE has an excellent price-quality ratio and is therefore one of the most widely used plastics in various industries.
An HDPE bottle has an excellent ability to properly store the contents in the bottle without being affected by outside influences.
In addition, the material is strong (stronger than, for example, a PET bottle), making it resistant to low pressure.
HDPE is made up of carbon and hydrogen molecules. The raw material ethylene is still often made from petroleum.
With proper combustion in an incinerator, it will burn completely and will not give off any toxic gases.
The carbon compound does contribute to the CO2 problem during combustion. Due to the very high calorific value, the combustion generates new energy (electricity) and heat (district heating).
However, HDPE is also highly recyclable and has a very long lifespan. As long as polyethylene does not accidentally end up in the environment, it is an environmentally friendly plastic.
If it does get into the environment, such as in the oceans, the long lifespan or has a negative effect on the quality of life in our world.
We can say that HDPE contributes to plastic recycling because of the quality.
