Medium Density Polyethylene is one of the most widely used types of polyethylene in the economy. MDPE was developed in the 1970s specifically for pipes for the gas distribution market. Medium density MDPE is a versatile raw material. Its density is medium density polyethylene between HDPE and LDPE. It therefore provides a useful balance. It has HDPE’s ability to resist drops and impacts. It also has the excellent flexibility of LDPE.

MDPE Properties

  • It has good abrasion resistance, low water permeability and low coefficient of friction.

  • It has high impact strength properties, density, moisture and chemical resistance.

  • It has the flexibility of LDPE.

  • Provides better resistance to stress cracking.

  • Can withstand temperature.

  • Complies with food processing rules.

  • MDPE is resistant to acids and bases.
