Material Profile
Fluorinated HDPE
HDPE treated with fluorine gas to improve chemical and solvent resistance.
About This Material
Fluorination modifies the surface of HDPE to reduce permeation of aggressive chemicals, fragrances, and essential oils. It maintains the mechanical properties of HDPE while significantly enhancing barrier performance.
Recycle profile:
Technically recyclable with HDPE, but many facilities reject it; limited acceptance.
Common uses: Industrial chemicals, automotive fluids, fragrance‑heavy formulations.
Notes: Not suitable for food contact in some regions; specialized processing.
Ideal Applications
Body material for industrial chemicals, automotive fluids, fragrance‑heavy formulations.
