HDPE 30% Glass Filled
HDPE 30% Glass Filled
(OP)
Hi All,
We are using HDPE(Without GF) now and it's showing unwanted value of 60~70 MPa of stress now.
So for better "Tensile Strength" & "Yield-Strength", i want to shift for HDPE with 30% Glass filled.
And here problems come into picture, as i don't know any reference for basic difference between cost and changed properties of New HDPE with 30% Glass Filled.
Please let me know any reference or suggestion to come up for solution.
Warm Regards..........

Prices have been volatile recently.
Material suppliers in YOUR area should be able to supply current quotes for unfilled and identical except for 30%GF material.

Pat's right that PP is a better choice than PE.
If you only need a modest boost in yield strength then talc or mica will work and will be cheaper than glass fiber.
