Question

Who are the biggest purchasers of HDPE in the country?

Answer 1

Well, I know that gas and oil companies use that extensively, I work in the gas field, and we use that along with the MDPE in all our pipe line, the higher the gas pressure the higher the density of the PE.

Answer 2

HDPE is resistant to many different solvents and has a wide variety of applications, including:

Containers
Tupperware
Laundry detergent bottles
Milk jugs
Fuel tanks for vehicles
Plastic bags
Containment of certain chemicals
Chemical-resistant piping systems
Heat-resistant fireworks display mortars
Geothermal heat transfer piping systems
Natural gas distribution pipe systems
Water pipes, for domestic water supply.
Coax cable inner insulators (dielectric insulating spacer)
Root Barrier
Corrosion Protection for Steel Pipelines.
Snowboard rails/ boxes.
Bottles, suitable for use as refillable bottles.

HDPE is also used for cell liners in subtitle D sanitary landfills, wherein large sheets of HDPE are either extrusion or wedge welded to form a homogeneous chemical-resistant barrier, preventing the pollution of soil and groundwater by the liquid constituents of solid waste.

One of the largest uses for HDPE is wood plastic composites, with recycled polymers leading the way.
