Why Choose HDPE for Your Next Blow Molding Project?

Even with several quality materials available, the best blow molding manufacturers choose High-Density Polyethylene, otherwise referred to as HDPE. The top blow mold makers understand the characteristics of this plastic material and the unique benefits it offers for making blow molding products.

What Is HDPE?

Of all the plastics used for the blow molding process, HDPE is the preferred choice. Comprised of a string of ethylene molecules that make it strong yet lightweight, this thermoplastic is unbeatable. HDPE is also sustainable, and therefore, it matches the goal of multiple companies interested in using environmentally-friendly materials.

Benefits of Using HDPE

For a better understanding as to why so many manufacturers prefer HDPE over other plastics, consider some of the top advantageous.

• Versatility – Compared to other plastics used by reputable blow molding manufacturers, HDPE is incredibly versatile. Because of that, experts use it to make children’s toys, pipe systems, chemical containers, plastic drinking bottles and containers, hardhats, telecom ducts, toiletry bottles, bread bags, and much more.
• Lightweight – As mentioned, the light weight of HDPE is one of its most significant benefits. However, this material is also strong and durable.
• Resistance – This plastic is highly resistant to several things, including impact, chemicals, mold and mildew, insects, and rotting.
• Malleability – With incredible malleability, manufacturers can mold and transform this material into almost any design and shape.

What Factors Affect the Price of a Blow Molded Part?

If you are relying on a blow molding machine for your business and a part wears down or breaks, it is essential to replace it with something of superior quality. Unless parts work correctly, you can expect a compromise on the machine’s operation and the quality of the finished product. The price you pay for a machine part depends on several factors. For instance, parts having to do with stretch blow molding are typically more expensive due to the increased complexity of the stretch blow molding machine.

The stretch blow molding process gets used for producing PET bottles such as those for water, juice, sports drinks, and more. In this case, a stretch blow molding machine stretches the preform in both the axial and hoop direction. Not only does that result in a unique shaped product, but also, by stretching the material  bi-axially, tensile strength increases, and clarity, drop impact, and barrier properties improve.

Additional Pricing Information

• Supplier - The supplier from which you purchase parts matters. A reputable company works to stay ahead of the competition, and therefore, keeps its pricing affordable without sacrificing quality. Also, when buying parts in bulk, there is traditionally even more cost savings. It is to your advantage to select a trusted and respected parts supplier.
• Resin Material - Another factor the significantly influences the price of parts is the resin material used. The least expensive options are polypropylene (PP) and low- and high-density polyethylene (HDPE and LDPE).
