Polyethylene (PE)

Polyethylene (PE) is the most widely produced plastic in the world, formed by polymerizing ethylene monomers into long chains. Its adaptability, durability, and cost-efficiency make it indispensable across a vast range of industries—from packaging and construction to medical and industrial uses. Available in various types, such as LDPE, HDPE, LLDPE, and UHMWPE, PE can be tailored to different performance needs, including flexibility, strength, transparency, or chemical resistance.

• Lightweight, durable, and chemically stable – balances toughness with ease of handling
• Wide range of densities and structures – includes LDPE (flexible), HDPE (rigid), LLDPE (balanced), and UHMWPE (extremely tough and wear-resistant)
• Excellent chemical resistance – resists many acids, bases, and solvents depending on the grade
• Low moisture absorption – ideal for damp or humid environments
• Transparent to opaque optical range – clarity varies with crystallinity and density
• Outstanding electrical insulation – commonly used in cable and electronic applications
• Ease of processing – compatible with methods like injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, film casting, welding, and heat sealing
• Recyclable – widely recycled and aligned with circular material practices

• Flexible films, bags, and shrink wraps – often made from LDPE or LLDPE for clarity and flexibility
• Rigid containers, bottles, and jugs – HDPE provides strength and durability for packaging and storage
• Piping and conduits – used in plumbing, drainage, and utility conduits for its chemical resistance and toughness
• Industrial liners and wear surfaces – UHMWPE serves in abrasion-prone environments and heavy-duty applications
• Cable insulation and electrical components – valued for dielectric properties and moisture resistance
• Medical packaging and sterile components – chosen for safety, cleanliness, and compatibility
• Everyday goods – from toys and household goods to fibers, nonwovens, and geomembranes

• Exceptional versatility—available in grades tailored to flexibility, strength, clarity, or toughness
• Excellent chemical, moisture, and wear resistance, outperforming many other thermoplastics
• Highly cost-effective due to abundant production and ease of processing
• Strong recycling potential, especially for HDPE and LDPE grades, reinforcing sustainability initiatives

• High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
• Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
• Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
