Plastic Wall Liner - 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.

HDPE Plastic: Many Applications and Benefits

HDPE or high-density polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer made from petroleum and is often used in plastic injection molding. When this plastic is heated, it can be formed into just about anything you might need for a new product. Once it cools off, it will become very hard again. HDPE plastic is incredibly pliable when heated so you should not have any problems shaping it to what you need thanks to the plastic injection molding process.

Because HDPE has a high melting point, it's perfect for molding in different shapes and sizes for what you need.

Just a little history, This material was first created in the 1930s and used for short-wave radar cabling during World War Two.

HDPE is immune to water and humid conditions, solvents, acids, and chemicals. It resists mildew, corrosion, rust, rot, and will not fall prey to insect damage. Because of these qualities, HDPE is the best material for underground piping.

Molded products can be finished in a spectrum of colors and textures both opaque and transparent. Adding color to HDPE plastic can actually strengthen the finish even more. HDPE also has the ability to print images, logos, and labels. Because HDPE has so many versatile uses, it's just amazing.

Other Uses For HDPE Plastic

HDPE has managed to work its way into every industry worldwide Some popular applications include:

Packaging, bottles, and containers for shampoos and conditioners, soap containers, food and beverage bottles, cartons, and containers especially for milk and juices.

Cereal boxes and liners, bags for bread, as well as tote bags for shopping. Components for cars include fuel tanks, various casings, and body parts.

Flower pots and garden furniture

Both indoor and outdoor toys

Shoe lasts which are models of a foot. It's usually the front form of the shoe that is unique to the shoe or boot company.
