TEHRAN (NIPNA) -- The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) unit of Jam Petrochemical Plant broke a new record in production of the item over the course of the previous Iranian calendar year which ended on March 20.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyethylene high-density (PEHD) is a polyethylene thermoplastic made from petroleum. It is sometimes called "alkathene" or "polythene" when used for pipes. With a high strength-to-density ratio, HDPE is used in the production of plastic bottles, corrosion-resistant piping, geomembranes, and plastic lumber. HDPE is commonly recycled, and has the number "2" as its resin identification code.
