Plastic products have been used for decades. With the advancement of technology, more and more thermoplastic products have added luster to the industry, and more changes are expected. The production and manufacture of high-quality products in the pipe industry have surged.
The difference between HDPE and polyethylene has always been a topic of debate in the industry. Many people want to know what are the characteristics of products produced with polyethylene as raw materials.
It is wise to collect detailed information about the products you want to buy. With the high demand for plastic pipes, it is worthwhile to clearly understand what HDPE vs PE pipes will produce up close.
Here are a few things to look at and look at the key differences between HDPE and polyethylene:
HDPE pipes must bear a certain pressure. PE resins with high molecular weight and good mechanical properties are usually used, such as HDPE resins. The strength is 9 times that of ordinary polyethylene pipe (PE).
Among all engineering plastics, the wear resistance of HDPE is the highest among plastics. The higher the relative molecular mass, the better the wear-resistant material, even more than many metal materials (such as carbon steel, stainless steel, bronze, etc.), ordinary PE does not have this characteristic.
Large-scale municipal and engineering projects often use HDPE pipes because their wall thickness and bearing pressure are higher than PE pipes. After all, the wall thickness is relatively large. Polyethylene pipes are used in small municipal projects or commercial buildings and parks.
Products made of PE and HDPE are very light because they are made of a material that is easy to handle and transport to the specified destination.
PE and HDPE products are classified as weather-resistant products because they are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. These products can withstand sunlight, wind, and rain. They are also resistant to chemicals, which is why they are widely used to transport different liquids.
The polyethylene pipe is designed to be easy to crimp and is available to customers in different sizes. Therefore, they can save a lot of money for many users during the installation process.
When PE or HDPE pipes are professionally fused and well connected, they create a homogeneous system. The final product is a powerful system that will resist leakage in the transfer fluid.
The polyethylene pipe can resist tearing and any pressure. They are also resistant to stress cracking and can be used for decades.
