In the floating power station project, high-density polyethylene(HDPE) is usually selected as the raw material for manufacturing the floating bodies. This material has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, aging resistance and no pollution. At the same time, it also has the advantages of resisting wind, waves and bending.
Especially when this material is used in large edible reservoirs, as it is made from food-grade raw materials, it significantly protects the water quality from being polluted. To ensure the longevity of the floating system on the water surface, people will add modified materials to the raw materials to enhance the anti-ultraviolet and anti-aging properties of the floating body.
Moreover, this material can be recycled when its 25-year lifespan is over, generating a 5% residual value, which is highly economical.
