Does anyone have any knowledge or insight why threads on HDPE jars would gall when PP lids are being torqued down?

Maybe a dumb question, but are you sure the threads match? If the two materials shrink at different rates when cooled after molding, the thread mating could be off from the design...

If the powder in the jars contains large particles with sharp edges, these particles will embed into one surface and then scrape the other surface.
