High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a common material choice for commercial polymer applications. HDPE is part of the Polyethylene (PE) family of thermoplastic polymers with variable crystalline structure. The physical properties of HDPE can vary depending on the molding process that is used to manufacture a specific sample; to some degree, a determining factor is the international standardized testing methods employed to identify these properties for a specific process.
