In the following, the properties of HDPE are described due to the fact that LDPE yarn or fibers are rarely demanded:
| CHARACTERISTIC | UNIT | VALUE |
| Specific gravity | g/cm^2 | 0.960 |
| Range of temp. | °C | -30 to +95 |
| Melting temp. | °C | 130 |
| Tensile strength | cN/tex | 50 |
| Elongation at break | % | 25 |
| Shrink at 100°C | % | 5 |
| Seltextinguishing (acc. to UL 94-V2) | optional |
ADVANTAGES OF HDPE
- HDPE has no problem in hot climate due to its good UV resistance.
- HDPE has an excellent tensile strength and is unaffected by wet or dry conditions. Compared to natural yarn and fibers, it is perfect in fast drying.
- HDPE is attractive in appearance as well as easy to care.
- HDPE is safer for use around animals, crops etc. No splinters, no broken wires, no jagged edges.
GENERAL FIBER CHARACTERISTICS THANKS TO POLYOLEFIN ORIGIN
- able to give good bulk and cover
- resistant to abrasion, deterioriation from chemicals, mildew, perspiration, rot, stain, soil and weather conditions
- colorfast
- quick drying
- low static
- thermally bondable
- strong
- dry hand (transports body moisture from the skin)
- very comfortable and lightweight
