HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), part of the polyolefin family of materials, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of -50° F (-46° C) to 180° F (82° C). It is categorized as a standard material, and offers high impact strength, high chemical resistance, and very low water absorption.
