Industrial Process Economics Reports About High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is one of the three main types of polyethylene, which is one of the most used polymers throughout the world. Some of the most common applications include blow molding, injection molding, blown and cast film, pipe and tubing, wire and cable coating, etc. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific HDPE production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the construction of an
