HDPE

A tough, chemical-resistant thermoplastic that costs little and handles moisture well.

Example: machined HDPE

What is it?

A tough, chemical-resistant thermoplastic that costs little and handles moisture well. Common in chemical tanks, fluid piping, and food-contact applications.

Key behavior

High impact resistance and outstanding resistance to chemicals and moisture at a low price point.

Why choose it

Chemical containment, fluid handling, and outdoor parts where cost and chemical resistance matter more than precision or appearance.

Applications

Chemical tanks, fluid piping, cutting boards, outdoor equipment parts.

Machining notes

Soft plastic — sharp tools and higher cutting speeds help prevent burring on the cut edge.
