Polyethylene is a thermoplastic (warmed, chilled, and rewarmed without demotion) and is one of the world’s most popular plastics. This substance has most characteristics, such as impact resistor, chemical resistor, and high elasticity, which has led to 34% of the world’s plastics from this substance. There are several varieties of PE used for numerous purposes.
Types of polyethylene
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
HDPE is inexpensive, milky white, and translucent. It is flexible and, of course, stiffer and stronger than LDPE and has better impact resistance. HDPE is recyclable.
Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
both packaging and non-packaging uses. Other markets include extrusion coatings, sheathing in cables, and injection molding uses. The oldest and most mature of the polyethylene (PE) is LDPE.
Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)
Linear Low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a linear polymer composed of short-chain alpha-olefins such as hexane, octane, and butane copolymerization manner.
Low-density LDPE and Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) are two essential grades of PE. These two resins usually appear to be the same since they have very comparable features. For instance, both have a fair resolution, excellent chemical stability, and good moisture resistor. The interesting point about LLDPE linear style polyethylene is that it obtains LDPE flexibility and HDPE strength.
