HDPE Technical Properties
Melt Index – (.6) A low melt index indicates improved stress and crack resistance.
Density – (.957) Polyethylene ranges anywhere from .914 to .960 in density. A higher density yields maximum stiffness without becoming overly brittle.
Minimum Temperature – (-76° F) Polyethylene stays flexible even at this temperature extreme.
Maximum Temperature – (250°) Polyethylene does not distort until reaching this temperature.
Tensile Strength – (3,700 psi) Material will not suffer distortion at letter loads or impacts.
