Polyethylene (PE) cross-linking technology is one of the important means to improve its material properties. Crosslinked modified PE can greatly improve its performance, not only significantly improve the comprehensive properties of PE mechanical properties, environmental stress crack resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, creep resistance and electrical properties, but also very Significantly improved the temperature resistance level, which can increase the heat-resistant temperature of PE from 70 ℃ to more than 100 ℃, thereby greatly expanding the application field of PE. High density polyethylene is the main type of PEX, and almost all PEX used in pipelines are made of high density polyethylene. The excellent combination of properties makes HDPE an ideal material for a variety of applications in a variety of industries. Unlike traditional systems that use copper for pipes and piping, crosslinked high density polyethylene does not corrode and maintains its flexural strength.
The global cross-linked high-density polyethylene (HDPE) market refers to the market for a type of polyethylene that has been chemically cross-linked to enhance its properties and performance. Cross-linking imparts improved thermal resistance, chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and durability to HDPE, making it suitable for various applications.
