High-Density Polyethene (HDPE) plastic is a low-cost thermoplastic polymer with linear structure and no or low degree of branching. Formed either through the catalytic cracking of crude oil into gasoline or the modifying of natural gases such as methane, ethane, and propane mix, this plastic material is manufactured at a low temperature between 70-300°C as well as a pressure of 10-80 bar.
Amongst the many different plastic materials, they can be classified into seven general types of plastic categories, each manufactured with varying combinations of resins and printed with their respective numberings for identification. The classification of different plastic materials is indicated on most of the bottom of the plastic containers, where there would be arrows rotating in a triangle around a number in the middle. Classified as the number 2 plastic, HDPE is produced mainly using two different techniques.
HDPE Plastic Bags are ideal for various industries due to their high resistance feature which makes them the go-to choice for the creating of packaging solutions such as plastic bags, grocery bags, laundry bags, air pillows, garbage bags, and more. The extreme impact strength of this plastic material ensures that the inner composition of products is protected.
