| High-Density Polyethylene |
This term is generally considered to include polyethylenes ranging in density from about 0.940 to 0.960 and over. Whereas the molecules in low-density polyethylene are branched in random fashion, those in the higher density polyethylenes have fewer side branches, resulting in more rigid material with greater strength, hardness, chemical resistance, and higher softening temperature. |
