Description
Properties
HDPE has good chemical resistance and does not absorb water. The black variant is weather resistant. The material feels slightly greasy and has good sliding properties and reasonable abrasion resistance. Its relatively low price makes it one of the most widely used plastics in industry.
Applications
HDPE is widely used in the food industry, mechanical engineering and horticulture.

Density (Kg/m³) The specific weight per volume in kg / m³
|
|
Heat Deflection Temperature (°C) Heat Deflection Temperature indicates the temperature up to which a material remains rigid under load.
|
|
E-modulus (MPa) The modulus of elasticity or stiffness of the material. This indicates how much the material deforms under a given stress.
|
|
Moisture absorption(%) The degree to which a material absorbs moisture from the environment. A material that has absorbed moisture expands.
|
|
Tensile strength (MPa) The tensile strength is the maximum stress the material reaches just before it fails (permanently deformed). In practice, a material is used well below this limit.
|
|
Elongation to fracture (%) |
|
Impact strength (Charpy) Impact strength indicates how well the material can absorb shocks and blows. In the test, the material is held at two ends and struck in the middle with a special impact hammer.
|
|
Hardness (Shore °D) Hardness of the surface measured on a scale of Shore. For comparison, at shore D, a car tire is 15, a skateboard wheel is 50 and a construction helmet is 80.
|
|
Coefficient of friction The coefficient of friction indicates how much resistance a material provides to friction. Simply put; the lower this number the better the material glides.
|
|
Heat capacity (Kj/Kg°C) Indicates how much heat energy is required for the material to heat up. Or viewed another way, how much heat can the material store?
|
|
Breakdown voltage (kV/mm) The breakdown voltage is important when the material is used as an insulator and indicates the voltage at which the material ceases to insulate and begins to conduct.

Coefficient of thermal conductivity (W/mK) |
|
Coefficient of thermal expansion (mm/m°C) |
