EghtesadOnline: It might seem weird how it could be possible to achieve such success regardless of the sanctions. Well, like they say “Knowledge is Power”. Iran HDPE traders have learned how to overcome the barriers of sanctions. Meanwhile, Iran HDPE producers have elevated the quality of their products to increase the number of their present customers. Although there are customers from 50 different countries of the world, Iran LDPE traders are aiming for more. The commitment of Iran LDPE traders to produce high-quality products has made them the hub of polymer in southwest Asia.

As the essence of various industries, Iran HDPE is used in packaging, pipes, and automotive parts, to name a few. To get more information about the usage of HDPE and LDPE, it is better to know their characteristics and usage. So, follow us in the rest of this article to get the most out of it about Iran HDPE.

How HDPE & LDPE Are Shaping Global Industries

What is Iran HDPE?
Iran HDPE which stands for Iran High-Density Polyethylene is one of the most widely used ingredients to produce plastic worldwide. As a base for producing plastics, it is derived from petroleum. HDPE is a solid material that is resistant to moisture at room temperature and stronger than standard types of polyethylene. Since the melting point of it is 120 °C, it can be used in industries dealing with high temperatures. Some of its properties are as follows:

Construction materials
Toys
Bottles and containers
Piping system
What is Iran LDPE?
Iran LDPE is a term for Iran Low-Density Polyethylene which is a viable material for producing different types of plastic products. It is made of petroleum and used in the packaging industry. Although it is flexible, soft, and lightweight, LDPE can be tough, resistant to corrosion, and flexible in low temperatures. Unlike HDPE, it is not strong enough to resist high temperatures. However, it is widely used for producing different types of products that are flexible and soft. To name a few, they are as follows.

Different kinds of plastic bags
Bottles
Various kinds of packaging
Covers and liners
Automotive parts
The above products are a few of dozens of industries dealing with Iran HDPE.

Why is Iran HDPE unique?
As an Iran HDPE trader, we are well aware of our capabilities. Iran HDPE is considered one of the best kinds of products in comparison with other countries. The business is all about the cost. It is the first reason for the eminence of Iran HDPE over other countries. Besides, the fine quality of the material is the second factor that converts potential customers into everlasting partners. The strategic logistics developments alongside production acceleration and customer satisfaction are other data-x-items that stand out from Iran HDPE traders ahead of others.

What is Iran’s competitive edge in polymer production?
As it is mentioned before, Iran HDPE is cost-efficient. Fortunately, Iran LDPE/HDPE manufacturers benefit from the governmental support, paying less for energy. Furthermore, the abundant ethane from gas fields (e.g., South Pars) fuels cost-efficient productions. Such infinite access to raw materials has helped Iran LDPE traders to outpace other companies of the world located in China, Germany, and the United States. Besides, by achieving international standard certifications in production such as ISO, and FDA for food-grade PE, Iran HDPE traders have become the remarkable producers of different grades of polyethylene in the world. Finally, the easy-to-access infrastructures like the Key ports of Bandar Abbas, facilitate exporting to different countries of Asia and Africa while reducing the cost of transportation.

Global industries relying on Iranian HDPE/LDPE
As a milestone material in the everyday life of people, polyethylene has become a necessity in global industries. Due to the reasonable price, high quality, and numerous international certifications and standards, Iran HDPE/LDPE products are the most demanding materials globally. The consumer market for this material is so gigantic that it does not let Iranian producers like Shobeir Shimi stop their production 24 a day.

Its market is tied to the end-user industries which makes it more demanding. For example, Iranian LDPE is used in flexible packaging for European food brands. It is estimated that Global packaging market growth will be equal to $1.2 trillion by 2030. In the construction industry, the PE100 pipes that are widely used in UAE/German water infrastructure projects are made of Iran HDPE. Plus, Fire-resistant HDPE in high-rise buildings is another example of the property of this product. “Lightweight LDPE components for electric vehicles could not be produced unless Iran LDPE is produced”. A Turkish automaker said.
