HDPE

A tough, chemical-resistant commodity plastic suited to high-volume molded parts.

Example: molded HDPE

What is it?

A tough, chemical-resistant commodity plastic common in packaging and fluid-handling parts.

Key behavior

Strong chemical and moisture resistance at low cost, with reasonable impact strength.

Why choose it

High-volume parts where chemical resistance and cost matter more than precision appearance.

Applications

Caps, enclosures, fluid-handling components.

Processing notes

Higher shrinkage rate than many plastics — design and tooling need to compensate.
