Plastic HDPE

HDPE Plastic Advantages

HDPE plastic is the most widely used type of plastic for various needs, this is because of its various advantages, including:

1. Easy to Melt and Shape

HDPE plastic is a type of plastic that is strong but also easy to shape after its melting point has passed the heating process. This advantage makes HDPE plastic to be formed easily, so this type of plastic is quite popularly used for the manufacture of household product materials, such as drink bottles and food boxes as the most popular products.

In addition, HDPE plastic is also quite popular in the industrial sector. Generally HDPE pipe is used for the manufacture of water pipes, cooler boxes, cabinets, and even sheets for construction.

2. Corrosion Resistant

HDPE plastic is not the only type of plastic that is corrosion resistant, but this material is considered superior compared to various similar products. This plastic is able to withstand the effects of weather or elements such as rain and moisture.

HDPE plastic is also resistant to the influence of minerals and chemicals such as acids, alkaline minerals, detergents, cleaning fluids, and so on. The density of the material makes the liquid not easily seep or penetrate.

Moss, mold, and the process of decay are a scourge for a variety of plastic products that are often damp, such as underground water pipes.

HDPE offers exceptional resistance to the effects of the presence of these organisms. You can also sterilize it by boiling because the melting point of this plastic is very high.

3. Have Strong Endurance

As the name implies, HDPE plastic is a type of plastic that is strong because it has few branches, and regular molecular bonds. This creates exceptional strength and resistance to impact or pressure.
HDPE plastic itself is suitable as a container material such as boxes, bottles, or jerry cans with large loads.

4. Easy to Recycle

HDPE is renowned as one of the easiest plastics to recycle. Almost all recycling centers around the world accept HDPE for processing. Plastic products must go through a process of selection, cleaning, homogenization, crushing, and melting. This melted plastic is then formed into flakes or pellets, and reused in the manufacturing process.
