HDPE HBM5020
Introduction
If you are sourcing HDPE HBM5020, you need more than just a product — you need a supplier who understands the material, guarantees consistency, and delivers on time. We supply HDPE HBM5020 to manufacturers across the packaging, agriculture, automotive, and industrial sectors, offering flexible order quantities, full technical documentation, and dedicated after-sales support.
HDPE HBM5020 is a premium-grade high-density polyethylene engineered for extrusion blow molding and heavy-duty industrial packaging. Its exceptional environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR), chemical stability, and food-grade compliance make it one of the most specified blow molding resins in the world — and we keep it in stock, ready to ship.

- Technical support: Our team can advise on grade selection, processing parameters, and application suitability.
What Is HDPE HBM5020?
HDPE HBM5020 is a high-density polyethylene blow molding grade produced using advanced Ziegler-Natta or chromium-based polymerization technology. Its molecular architecture is carefully controlled to deliver a broad molecular weight distribution, which translates into excellent ESCR, rigidity, and impact toughness.
The “HBM” designation indicates its optimization for hollow blow molding, while “5020” identifies its specific viscosity and density profile. It is classified as a Type IV HDPE per ASTM D4976 and is one of the most widely used grades for industrial container and bottle manufacturing globally.

Key Properties of HDPE HBM5020
Outstanding ESCR (Environmental Stress Crack Resistance)
HDPE HBM5020 achieves an ESCR F50 value exceeding 1,000 hours per ASTM D1693 — one of the highest in its class. This makes it the preferred choice for containers holding detergents, surfactants, and aggressive cleaning agents where inferior grades fail prematurely at stress points.
High Impact Resistance
With a Charpy impact strength above 15 kJ/m² at 23°C, HDPE HBM5020 handles mechanical shocks and rough handling in transport and industrial use without cracking. Manufacturers producing drums, jerry cans, and automotive fluid reservoirs rely on this toughness for product reliability in the field.
Broad Chemical Resistance
HDPE HBM5020 resists dilute and concentrated acids, alkalis, alcohols, and hydrocarbons — covering the vast majority of industrial and consumer chemical packaging needs. It is not recommended for chlorinated solvents or strong oxidizing agents without prior compatibility testing.
Structural Stiffness
A flexural modulus of 900–1,100 MPa delivers the rigidity required for self-supporting containers and large-volume tanks, without sacrificing ductility. This balance is what separates HBM5020 from stiffer but brittle injection-molding grades.
Wide Service Temperature Range
Retaining structural integrity from −40°C to +60°C, HDPE HBM5020 performs reliably across cold-chain logistics, outdoor storage, and heated transport environments.
Food-Grade Compliance
Available in grades compliant with EU Regulation 10/2011 and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520, making it suitable for milk bottles, food containers, and beverage packaging. We supply full food-contact compliance documentation on request.
UV and Outdoor Durability
When supplied in UV-stabilized, carbon black-loaded formulations (2–2.5% CB), HDPE HBM5020 delivers a design life exceeding 10 years in outdoor applications such as agricultural water tanks and infrastructure components.
Recyclability
HDPE HBM5020 carries resin identification code #2 and is fully recyclable, supporting your customers’ sustainability commitments and compliance with extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulations.
