Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE): Introduction
·
MDPE is a thermoplastic within the polyethylene family, with a
density of 0.926–0.940 g/cm3, which is less dense than the more common HDPE
·
It can be produced by chromium/silica catalysts, Ziegler-Natta
catalysts, or metallocene catalysts. MDPE has good shock and drop resistance
properties. It is also less notch sensitive than HDPE. Stress cracking
resistance is better than HDPE. MDPE is typically used in gas pipes &
fittings, sacks, shrink film, packaging film, carrier bags, and screw closures.
It has good heat deformation properties. Its melt temperature is above 120°C.
·
MDPE has good abrasion resistance, low water permeability, and low
coefficient of friction. It is well suited for insulation and cable jacketing
of power cables. It can resist severe laying condition.
Rise in Building & Construction Activities to Drive Global
Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) Market
·
MDPE is primarily used in pipes and fittings. MDPE plastic pipes
are used for gas pipes, water & wastewater plumbing designs, sewage, and
drainage, steel pipe coating, wiring & cables, shrink films, and others.
·
Medium density polyethylene (MDPE) has applications in
automobile industries, where its high impact resistant properties, toughness,
density, and moisture & chemical resistance are adopted in car designs
·
MDPE is used for building car bodies, fuel tanks, and as an
electrical insulator (sub-conductor insulators and cable jacketing). It is also
cheap and easy to recycle. MDPE is technically termed ‘high-performance
plastic’ alongside other classes of plastics.
·
In agriculture, polyethylene is widely used in plasticulture,
where plastic is used for some agricultural operations, and manufacture of some
farm inputs such as silage bags, nursery pots, irrigation tubes, fumigation
film, and other plastic soil and plant coverings.

Applications
of Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE)
·
In terms of application, the medium density polyethylene (MDPE)
segment can be classified into agricultural, automotive, construction, consumer
goods, medical & health, packaging, and industrial
·
MDPE is primarily used in gas pipes & fittings, bags, shrink
films, packaging films, transport bags, and bottle blowing
·
Medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) resins are suitable for a
number of packaging applications such as tubes, stand-up pouches, over-wrap
films, milk pouches, and lamination films where stiffness and toughness are
essential
·
These resins offer higher stiffness, dart impact strength, and
tear strength. These also present excellent optics for printing, see-through
windows, and overall shelf appeal for retail packaging.

COVID-19 Impact on Global MDPE Market
·
The global coronavirus outbreak is expected to pose severe
challenges to the global MDPE market. MDPE is primarily used in the manufacture
of pipes & fittings. Therefore, contraction in the building and
construction industry is likely to restrain the global MDPE market in the near
future. Extension of the lockdown in various countries across the world has led
to supply chain disruptions. This, in turn, is anticipated to restrain the
market in the near future.

North America to Hold Major Share of Global Medium Density
Polyethylene (MDPE) Market
·
In terms of region, the global
medium density polyethylene (MDPE) market can be divided into North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
·
In terms of value, Asia Pacific dominated the global medium
density polyethylene (MDPE) market in 2019. This can be ascribed to growth of
the construction sector in developing countries such China and India in the
region.
·
Europe is anticipated to present significant opportunities in
the medium density polyethylene (MDPE) market due to the usage of MDPE resins
in various end-use industries such automotive, building & construction, and
pipes
·
The medium density polyethylene (MDPE) market in Latin America
and Middle East & Africa is projected to grow at a sluggish pace during the
forecast period
