Polyethylene PE

タイトルまたは説明

Polyethylene is the most common raw material in plastics manufacturing. Its primary use is in packaging (plastic bags, plastic films, geomembranes, containers including bottles, etc.).

Applications

Polyethylene is produced in three main forms: low density (LDPE), linear low density (LLDPE) and high density (HDPE). The LDPE or LLDPE form is preferred for film packaging and for electrical insulation. HDPE is blow-moulded to make containers for household chemicals such as washing-up liquids and drums for industrial packaging. It is also extruded as piping.

Benefits

•    Durable and extremely impact resistant

•    Light and reduced shipping costs

•    Fully recyclable and environment-friendly

•    Resistant in all weather conditions

Specifications

By far the most popular thermoplastic commodity used in consumer products (especially products created by rotational molding), polyethylene is created through the polymerization of ethylene.
