HDPE Resin Material Data Sheet

These data sheets are examples of the information you should be able to acquire from the material supplier(s) of choice. When specific material(s) are selected then all necessary physical part properties will become the basis for your selection(s).

Material	HDPE
Chemical Name	HDPE; High Density Polyethylene
Structure	Crystaline
Opacity	Translucent to Opaque
Strength	Tough
Specific Gravity	0.947-0.977
Shrinkage	1.0 to 2.0%
Melting Point	239°F
Deflection Temperature	140°-194°F
Service Temperature	183.2°F
Applications	HDPE resin is ideal for large parts that require outstanding physical performance. It is commonly used in application such as: Corrosion-Resistant Piping Plastic Lumbar Packaging Plastic Bottles
Advantages	Excellent Processability High Strength to High Density Ratio Good Stiffness, Strength & Toughness Moisture Resistant
Disadvantages	Can be Susceptible to Environmental Stress Cracking – If internal stresses are not minimized by proper design and use of lowest MFR material at a particular density level. Soluble in Hydrocarbons at Temperatures Greater than 140° F – However, resistance to these materials is greater than that of LDPE Resin.
