  26. Tensile strength: 3,100-4,500 psi
  27. Impact resistance: No-break at -40°F
  28. UV resistance: Stabilized for 15-25 years outdoor use
  29. Chemical resistance: 300+ chemicals
  30. Temperature range: -40°F to 180°F continuous
  31. Why HDPE beats alternatives:

  32. vs. Steel: No corrosion, 60% lighter, 80% less maintenance
  33. vs. Fiberglass: Better impact resistance, lower cost
  34. vs. Injection-molded plastic: Seamless construction, no weld lines
