Description
This dataset is a market dataset representing the consumption market of the region. The dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumption end, and the transport service is calculated based on the transport situation of the product in the region. High-density polyethylene resin is mainly used in the production of film materials, pipe materials, blow molding materials (large and small hollow), injection molding materials and monofilament materials; this product is composed of 100% virgin material and contains no recycled material. The production activity of this product is the weighted average of the slurry process and the gas-phase process; if you cannot determine the specific production process of high-density polyethylene resin, you can use this dataset, and for specific technical details, boundary scope and other information descriptions you may refer to the datasets of the various production processes of high-density polyethylene resin; infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and plant construction is not included within the dataset boundary.
Activity Description
The production activities for this product are a weighted average of slurry and gas phase methods.
Process Description
High-density polyethylene resin is a fossil plastic product, non-biodegradable, a thermoplastic material, and is a white powder or granular product. This product is composed of 100% virgin materials and contains no recycled materials. High-density polyethylene usually has five major applications: film materials, pipe materials, blown plastics (large hollow and small hollow), injection plastics and monofilament materials.

Technology comment
There are three main production processes for high-density polyethylene: the solution method, the slurry method, and the gas phase method. Among them, the slurry method and the gas phase method have lower reaction pressures, easier-to-control operating conditions, and better product performance. They have now become the most important production technologies for high-density polyethylene in China. Due to the long process flow, high product energy consumption, and high investment of the solution method, almost no enterprises in China choose this method to produce polyethylene.
