HDPE or High Density Polyethylene is another type of thermoplastic material. It is made from petroleum, can be easily recycled, and offers a very high strength material for a wide range of different applications.

This material is used to make everything from common plastic bottles to pipe that is highly resistant to any type of corrosion. It is also used to make construction material, including what is commonly called “plastic lumber” and is used for decking, trim, and siding along with window frames and garden furniture.

Finding an HDPE supply service for pipe is important for both oil and gas facilities and refineries as well as in processing and production companies. In oil and gas systems, it can be used as a lining inside of steel pipes, extending the life cycle of the pipes by creating a non-corrosive and non-reactive barrier between the oil or gas and the steel pipe. It can also be used as a food storage container as well as in piping in these systems, meeting sanitary standards required for this type of production.

Finding a Reliable HDPE supply

Not all companies selling HDPE products offer a wide selection of pipe sizes and options. Depending on the size of the company they may only have a limited HDPE supply in the standard pipe sizes, which can make it a challenge for larger contractors and companies to have large orders filled and shipped with short turnaround times.

In addition to in-stock inventory, it is important to compare pricing on HDPE pipe between suppliers. Larger suppliers shipping large volumes of pipe and components tend to offer the most competitive pricing, plus they are also able to manage JIT deliveries for longer projects, working closely with your supply chain to coordinate all orders throughout the job.
