A slightly flexible material, offering excellent shape retention in use, good impact resistance, and particularly suitable for use at lower temperatures.

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Suitable for temps. between -40°C and +80°C

Characteristics:

A strong and rigid material, particularly suitable for use at lower temperatures. Lower load bearing properties than Polypropylene, and excellent resistance to stress cracks.
