Polyethylene
Polyethylene
Polyethylene (PE) is a durable and cost-effective thermoplastic with excellent chemical resistance. LDPE, LLDPE and HDPE grades are widely used in packaging, pipes, films and industrial applications.
Polyethylene is a white, semi-transparent and highly durable polymer. According to density, polyethylene types available on the market include low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). As density increases, stiffness and strength increase, and the softening temperature rises accordingly. Its most distinctive feature is its excellent chemical resistance. PE enables the economical packaging of long shelf-life food products, the safe transportation and distribution of chemical substances, clean water pipes and products that need protection against scratches.
