Polyethylene (PE)
 
Polyethylene is the most common plastic. This product is made by the polymerization of ethylene (a gaseous 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 densityand branching. 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)
Linear low-density polyethylene(LLDPE)
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
 
 
High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
 
HDPE has several properties that make it ideal as a packaging and manufacturing product. It’s 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.
