Polyethylene (PE) What is it?

From the beginning of commercial polymers polyethylene, a thermoplastic polymer produced from oil. Gets the name of the ethylene monomer to form, polymerize ethylene is obtained in various ways, durable, glossy, resistant to most chemicals. The name is used in the plastics industry as PE for short.

Polyethylene in general can be divided into two main classes: Low Density Polyethylene (Low Density Polyethylene - LDPE) and High Density Polyethylene (High Density Polyethylene - HDPE).

Features vary according to the types in the external environmental conditions and shows good resistance to moisture, elasticity, poor mechanical strength and superior chemical resistance can be considered as general characteristics.

Automotive industry, infrastructure, supplies, toy industry, kitchen utensils, plates, tube production, such as packaging and packaging film has a very wide application area. In addition, the material is a good insulator and is resistant to the commonly used parts of electronic goods. Low cost.
