well screen material – HDPE is often used for horizontal environmental wells because of its flexibility, chemical resistance, and high tensile strength.
A plastic material whose thickness ranges from .941 -.965 g/cm3. HDPE is more expensive to process, but maintains greater strength, resistance and stiffness than either LDPE or LLDPE.
Used to make plastic bottles, milk cartons and other products. It produces toxic fumes when burned. Often referred to as No.2 Plastic.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a polyethylene thermoplastic made from petroleum. It takes 1.75 kilograms of petroleum (in terms of energy and raw materials) to make one kilogram of HDPE.
