2. High-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_polyethylene

   High-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyethylene high-density (PEHD) is a thermoplastic polymer produced from the monomer ethylene. It is sometimes called "alkathene" or "polythene" when used for HDPE pipes. [1] With a high strength-to-density ratio, HDPE is used in the production of plastic bottles, corrosion-resistant piping, geomembranes and ...

3. Polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene

   Polyethylene or polythene (abbreviated PE; IUPAC name polyethene or poly (methylene)) is the most commonly produced plastic. [7] It is a polymer, primarily used for packaging (plastic bags, plastic films, geomembranes and containers including bottles, cups, jars, etc.).

4. HDPE pipe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDPE_pipe

   HDPE pipe. HDPE pipe is a type of flexible plastic pipe used to transfer fluids and gases. It is often employed for replacing aging concrete or steel main pipelines. Constructed from the thermoplastic HDPE (high-density polyethylene), it has low permeability and robust molecular bonding, making it suitable for high-pressure pipelines.

5. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-molecular...

   Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. Also known as high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3.5 and 7.5 million amu. [1] The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening ...

6. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

   A thermoplastic, or thermosoftening plastic, is any plastic polymer material that becomes pliable or moldable at a certain elevated temperature and solidifies upon cooling. [1][2] Most thermoplastics have a high molecular weight. The polymer chains associate by intermolecular forces, which weaken rapidly with increased temperature, yielding a ...

7. Plastic pipework - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_pipework

   Plastic Pipe lengths manufactured in Australia by extruding HDPE material.. Plastic pipe is a tubular section, or hollow cylinder, made of plastic.It is usually, but not necessarily, of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow—liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders and masses of small solids.
