Posted by spiratex on December 23rd, 2019

High-density polyethylene [HDPE] is the world’s most widely used plastic.  For this reason, there is a high demand from our customers at Spiratex for high-density polyethylene tubing and various custom profiles made from HDPE.

The benefits of HDPE tubing and custom shapes are that is a rigid plastic has high impact, chemical and abrasion resistance, has a low co-efficient of friction and excellent wear properties. These pluses result in a formidable plastic that has, literally, thousands of applications used in almost all aspects of daily living.

Let’s take a look at some of the applications for HDPE tubing and custom shapes.

Automotive

There are a number of reasons why the use of HDPE tubing and custom shapes in the automotive industry has exploded in recent years, making it preferable to metal and other materials:  They include:

•          Lighter material reduces fuel consumption. Since HDPE weighs less than traditional materials used in the auto industry there is a direct correlation with the dramatic improvement in fuel economy.
•          Lower costs. HDPE costs less to manufacture than other materials.
•          Lower vehicle repairs costs. Repair of vehicles’ parts manufactured with HDPE is much easier than with metal and other materials which means lower costs.
•          Long shelf life. Compared to other materials, especially metal, HDPE has a significantly longer life span, another reason cars are staying on the road longer than in previous generations.
•           Improved environmental impact. HDPE’s use in vehicles – compared to   steel, aluminum and other materials – has helped the automotive industry reduce pollutant emissions.
•          Aesthetic improvements. The ability to mold HDPE into various shapes - and create different colors – makes it a more versatile and attractive addition to the newest generation of vehicles.   

Industrial

Although there are many uses for industrial uses polyethylene, HDPE is mostly known for use in the manufacturing of various types and sizes of tubing and for the production of plastic bottles.

Applications for HDPE plastic pipes, also known as HDPE poly pipes, can include water and sewer mains, rural irrigation systems, stormwater and drainage systems, and electrical and communications conduits.

HDPE compressed air piping can also be found in systems requiring corrosion-resistant HDPE tubing. These applications include food production, water and waste water transport, natural gas pipelines and fuel systems.

HDPE is widely used to in the manufacturing of plastic bottles for milk and juices as it is FDA-approved. HDPE also consists ofchemical resistant properties, it can also so it also is a popular choice for plastic bottles that stores household chemicals and detergents.

Conveyor Systems/Material Handling

A common use for black HDPE plastic is conveyor systems rollers and idlers that help move product to move along the transom.

Material handling systems, which compliment conveyor systems, also utilize HDPE tubing. This includes dollies, carts, tow motors, movers, hoisting and lifting equipment, and shelving and storage racks.

Wire and Cable

HDPE conduit is the preferred material to house and protect electrical power and telecommunications cables. The reason HDPE is prized for wire and cable tubing is it features corrosion and chemical resistance and is durable.
