McMaster Part Number
HDPE is a naturally opaque white because of its crystalline structure, but is also available dyed black in more limited stock sizes. It has a waxy finish leveraged for low-friction applications.
To reduce costs, limit the number of part setups, the number of inspection dimensions or tight tolerances, and deep pockets with small radii.
When designing a product, consider all factors that will contribute to its success throughout the development process. For most companies,…
