PE 300 / HDPE sheets

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) - a linear polymer, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is prepared from ethylene by a catalytic process. The absence of branching results in a more closely packed structure with a higher density and somewhat higher chemical resistance than LDPE.

High-Density Polyethylene – PE300 is also somewhat harder and more opaque and it can withstand rather higher temperatures (120° Celsius for short periods, 110° Celsius continuously). High-density polyethylene lends itself particularly well to blow molding.

HDPE Polyethylene 300 has the following properties: rigidity, resilience, durability, chemical and moisture tolerance, gas permeability, ease of processing and ease of formation.

Benefits:

High abrasion resistance.	Easily machinability.	Shock resistance is good even at low temperatures.
Low friction coefficient.	High chemical resistance, typical of the polyolefins.	Good electrical properties.
Low specific gravity.	Physiologically inert, approved for food contact	Weatherproof

Weaknesses:

Compared to the engineering plastics it has lower thermal and mechanical properties, such as tensile stress, flexural and compressive strength.
Compared to high molecular weight PE, it is more rigid and its resistance to continuous shock is therefore lower.

Applications:

The low friction coefficient and its non-hygroscopicity make it suitable for use as a bearing or mechanical parts with low loads, even when operating in water. However, it's widely used for components in food machinery and manufacturing.
