Polyethylene (popularly called polythene) is a translucent and flexible thermoplastic resin with excellent chemical resistance. It is among the lightest plastics and is easily distinguishable from other plastics because it floats in water. It is widely used as a film by itself or applied to printing paper to provide finish, strength and moisture resistance.

It is used for diverse applications such as packaging films, milk and water bottles, food containers, and children's toys.

Properties:
It offers the following advantages:
• Thermal resistance: Makes its application possible between -40°C to 100°C
• Chemical resistance: Suitable for transport of waste material and water
• Impact resistance: Unbreakable at temperatures greater than 5°C
• Insulating: Non-conductive
• Elastic: Suitable for underground pipes
• Smooth Internal Wall: Poses a low blockage risk due to low residue effects
• Wear resistance: Long durability therefore low cost of ownership
• Environmentally friendly: Non-toxic and recyclable
• Lightweight: Saves transportation and handling costs
• Highly suitable for welding: Easy installation using electro-fusion techniques
• Homogenous welded joints: End-load resistant and leak proof

Product Families: HDPE is suitable for many wear parts in machinery and equipment as well as a lining in material handling systems and containers. UHMW PE is self-lubricating, durable, abrasion and corrosion resistant.

Applications:
• Milk jugs, detergent bottles, garbage containers
• Containers for frozen food and dairy products
