Optimising HDPE Performance and Durability with GPC Testing

Optimising HDPE Performance and Durability with GPC Testing

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a widely used thermoplastic known for its excellent strength, chemical resistance, and high impact and abrasion resistance. It is used in applications ranging from packaging and pipes to automotive and consumer goods. 

However, HDPE can degrade over time, especially when exposed to heat and UV radiation, impacting its performance and longevity.

Whether you are analysing virgin resin or recycled material, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) testing can be used to help identify and mitigate degradation early, improving material performance and extending product life

Download our full case study to learn how Smithers' GPC testing helps you understand material degradation, optimise processing conditions, and ensure the quality and durability of your HDPE products. You can also explore more case studies.
