Polyethylene Usage Areas

PE based plastic waste after cleaning is parsed into small pieces 16 to 20 mm is then passed through a melt extruder machine and granulated.

Polyethylene is a thermoplastic used in a variety of products. Form the name from the monomer ethylene, polyethylene produced using ethylene.

Although  varies depending on the type of the features, good resistance to outdoor conditions and moisture, elasticity, low mechanical strength and superior chemical resistance can be considered as general features.

Is the most types of plastic we use in our homes.

Bleach, detergent and shampoo bottles, motor oil bottles, garbage bags, plastic containers, plastic containers, utensils, plates, pipes and tubes, toys, cable insulating layers, such as packaging and packaging film is a very common usage is low cost.

Mechanical properties; The molecular weight depends on the crystal structure and type of branching.

Based on density polyethylene and chemical properties are classified in various categories:

UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight PE)
HDPE (high density PE)
HDXLP (high density cross-linked PE)
PEX (cross-linked PE)
MDPE (medium density PE)
LDPE (low density PE)
LLDPE (linear low density PE)
VLDPE (very low density PE)
