Advantages
Excellent Mechanical Properties
High Impact Resistance: high density plastic sheet has a high strength-to-density ratio, enabling them to withstand high levels of impact stress without being easily damaged. They have excellent shock resistance even at low temperatures. Good Rigidity and Toughness: HDPE Sheets possess both high rigidity and good toughness. They are not easily deformed under normal circumstances and can maintain their shape and structure well. High Tensile Strength: With high tensile strength, HDPE sheets can endure large pulling forces without breaking easily, making them suitable for applications requiring high strength.
Superior Chemical Resistance
Acid and Alkali Resistance: HDPE sheets can resist the corrosion of most acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, maintaining stable performance in chemical environments.
Corrosion Resistance: They are not prone to rust or corrosion, which prolongs their service life in harsh environments, such as humid or chemically polluted ones.
Good Physical Properties
Low Water Absorption: HDPE sheets have extremely low water absorption, which means they are not easily affected by water and can maintain their performance in humid or underwater environments.
Excellent Insulation: HDPE has good electrical insulation properties, with a high dielectric strength, making it suitable for use in electrical insulation applications.
Good Heat Resistance: HDPE sheets have a relatively high melting point, usually around 130°C, and can maintain good stability within a certain temperature range.
Hygienic and Environmentally Friendly
Food Safety: Industry-grade HDPE is FDA, NSF, and USDA approved as a food-safe material, making it suitable for use in contact with food and beverages.
Recyclability: HDPE is a recyclable material that can be recycled and reused, making it
environmentally friendly.
Easy Processing and Fabrication
Thermal Formability: HDPE sheets can be easily formed into various shapes by heating, which is convenient for manufacturing products of different shapes and sizes.
Machinability: They can be cut, drilled, welded, and riveted, allowing for easy processing and fabrication according to specific requirements.
Applications
Construction Industry
Waterproof and Seepage-proof Layers: HDPE sheets are widely used as waterproof and seepage-proof materials for building roofs, basements, and swimming pools due to their low water absorption and excellent waterproof performance.
Insulation Materials: They can be used as insulation materials for buildings, with good thermal insulation performance helping to reduce energy consumption.
Chemical Industry
Chemical Storage Tanks and Reactors: HDPE sheets are used to make chemical storage tanks and reactors due to their excellent chemical resistance, which can withstand the corrosion of various chemical substances.
Pipeline Systems: HDPE pipes made from HDPE sheets are widely used in the chemical industry for transporting chemical fluids and gases.
Food Industry
Cutting Boards: HDPE sheets are FDA-approved and are commonly used to make cutting boards in commercial kitchens due to their hygienic properties, being easy to clean and resistant to bacteria.
Marine and Aquatic Industries
Marine Equipment: HDPE sheets are used to make parts of boats, docks, and fishing equipment due to their water resistance, impact resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Aquaculture Ponds: They are used as linings for aquaculture ponds to prevent water seepage and maintain a good water quality environment.
Electrical and Electronic Industry
Insulation Materials for Wires and Cables: HDPE sheets are used as insulation materials for wires and cables due to their excellent electrical insulation properties, which can ensure the safety and stability of electrical transmission.
