Product Descriptions
Polyethylene (PE)
Polyethylene is the most common plastic.
This product is made by the polymerization of ethylene
(agaseous hydrocarbon).
Its primary use is in making translucent, lightweight, and tough
plastics, films, containers (such as bottles and
so), insulation (geomembranes),
etc.
Polyethylene (PE) has
excellent chemical resistance, meaning that it is not attacked by
strong acids or strong bases. It is also resistant to gentle
oxidants and reducing agents.
Classification
Polyethylene (PE) is
classified into several different categories based mostly upon
its densityandbranching.
Its mechanical properties depend significantly on variables such as
the extent and type of branching, the crystal structure and
the molecular
weight. Our most important polyethylene supplies
are HDPE, LLDPE and
LDPE.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
HDPE has several
properties that make it ideal as a packaging and manufacturing
product. Its stronger than standard polyethylene, acts as an
effective barrier against moisture and remains solid at room
temperature. It resists insects, rot and other chemicals. It is
easily recyclable and can be used again and again. Recycled HDPE
creates no harmful emissions during its production or during its
use by the consumer. Also, HDPE leaks no toxic chemicals into
the soil or water.
HDPE is one of the most
commonly used plastics in the world. It is typically found in milk
jugs, plastic bags and refillable plastic bottles. In addition to
plastic lumber and recycled plastic furniture, recycled HDPE is
used to manufacture lawn and garden products, buckets, crates,
office products and automobile parts.
