Stall Wall Panels - Flexible HDPE

Connecting HDPE Pieces

There are two ways to connect multiple pieces of HDPE together. One method is to overlap the HDPE and use our double sided seam tape to connect the two pieces. The other method is to butt the ends together and use our 17 mil single sided seam tape to create a solid connection.

Overlap Method
(for underground installations)

The overlap method is best used when connecting two pieces of HDPE in a buried application. Due to the overlap, a ridge is exposed which is not ideal when installed in exposed vertical or flat installations in high traffic areas as there is a possibility of an object catching on the ridge and pulling the two pieces apart.

In a below ground installation, the large overlap area provides a more water resistant connection as well as enhanced protection against tree and plant root intrusion.

End to End Method
(for exposed installations)

When installing HDPE on a wall, floor or anywhere that is exposed, the end to end method provides a secure connection and does not leave any ridges exposed to potential catching by a person or object.

The Benefits Found in HDPE Plastic

High-Density Polyethylene or HDPE has grown in popularity. Polyethylene is a common plastic that is used for plastic bags, films, and containers. HDPE is a thermoplastic that offers many benefits such as resistance to chemicals and rigid strength. Even though it's a member of the polyethylene family, HDPE has a molecular density that is much higher than polyethylene where HDPE gets its unique mechanical properties.

In this article, we will go over the benefits of HDPE and the industries that use this amazing polymer.

Long-Lasting And Lightweight

The density of HDPE is between 941 kg/m3 to 965 kg/m3 depending on its makeup. Although aluminum is considered very light, its density of 2699 kg/m3 is 2.8 times heavier than HDPE. For many uses where weight is an issue, the lighter weight of high-density polyethylene is a huge advantage.

UV-Resistant

Resistance to UV rays is essential for a longer lifespan for furniture, parts, or components that are for outside use. Unlike other plastics, HDPE is UV resistant and is perfect for outside items such as playground equipment made from HDPE. This is because HDPE contains UV stabilizers mixed with its resin.

HDPE Is Machinable And Weldable

HDPE can be easily welded or machined. These enduring and dependable welds make it much easier to design much larger items including watertight tank liners used for storing large volumes of water and other liquids.

HDPE And Chemicals

Because HDPE is a high-chemical resistant product that can be welded. It's the chosen material for designing bottles, containers, and tanks for chemical products. Also, High-density polyethylene is used to create corrosion-resistant liners and is compatible with many other products including -

• Some concentrated acids (pH 1–3)
• Low-concentrated acids
• Some alcohols
• Bases and alkalis (pH 11–14)
