About HDPE
Polyethylene, also known as polythene, is the commonly used plastic, and it is chemically synthesized from ethylene. Polyethylene is utilized in different products such as packaging products, pipes, molds, wires, cables, general purpose tubing, drums, carrier bags, and household goods. HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE are the three types of polyethylene. HDPE is a thermoplastic and is manufactured from petrol chemical derivatives. It is a commonly recyclable product and has high strength and density ratio. It contains less than one side chain per 200 carbon atoms in the main chain, which helps in forming long linear chains, thus leading to high crystallinity. HDPE is tough, resistant to chemicals, resistant to UV radiation, and least flexible compared to other polyethylene types. It is used in blow molding application such as bottles and drums, toys, pipes, monofilaments, films, fiber, woven sacks, caps and closures, crates, household goods, and fuel tanks for automobile.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global HDPE market to grow at a CAGR of 5.08% by revenue over the period 2014-2019.
