High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): A rigid, tough, and chemically resistant resin.
Applications: Milk jugs, shampoo bottles, detergent containers, grocery bags, and recycling bins.
Processing: Ideal for extrusion blow moulding of bottles and injection moulding of rigid parts like caps.
Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE): A more flexible and softer version of PE with high resilience.
Applications: Plastic bags (dry-cleaning, produce, bread), squeezable bottles, and plastic wraps.
Processing: Widely used in extrusion for films and bags and injection moulding for flexible containers.
Polypropylene (PP): A versatile, heat-resistant resin with a high melting point.
Applications: Food storage containers (microwavable), yogurt tubs, bottle caps, and "living hinges" on flip-top lids.
Processing: Common in both injection moulding for hard containers and extrusion for specialized films.
