Introduction to Polyethylene (PE)
Polyethylene (PE) is an engineering thermoplastic, which offers relatively mechanical low strength and hardness but excellent impact strength. Polyethylene also has two types of options High density and low density.It is known for its malleable properties. It has a high temperature, oil, steam resistance, and electrical insulation.
All these properties make Polyethylene a versatile engineering material, the best choice in food processing, pharmaceuticals, packaging, agricultural products, cables, pipes, fitting, and many more applications.
