LyondellBasell has reached final investment decision to build a grassroots high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plant at the US Gulf Coast.

If the project reaches final approval, Sasol and Ineos will supply the ethylene feedstock required to produce HDPE in proportion to their respective ownership positions. The companies said they ...

The amount of HDPE processed by reclaimers in the U.S. rose by almost one-third in 2011 to 843 million pounds with the six largest HDPE processing 667 million pounds — or 79 percent of the total.

A new family of Lupolen high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resins offers improved resistance to biodiesel, and therefore is a new candidate for blowmolded and injection molded automotive fuel tanks.

Cornell chemists can demonstrate how to make high-density polyethylene with better control over polymer chain lengths, which allows for improvement over physical properties such as processability ...

Recent advancements in processing techniques and analytical methods have improved our understanding of how environmental exposure and additives can alter HDPE’s behaviour under stress.

This paper presents a new method for processing recycled HDPE into pipe-grade HDPE materials—the two-step extrusion method.

ipolytech have a host of analytical techniques that can be used to identify prolems that affect your polymer processing and products. In this example, a manufacturer using regrind polyethylene ...

SIBUR, Russia's largest polymer producer, has developed a new grade of metallocene linear low-density polyethylene (mLLDPE) for flexible fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) packaging.
