Polyethylene is chemically the simplest polymer being one of the most common plastics.

Its most outstanding properties include:

• its lightness and flexibility,

• its impermeability, inert (to the content),

• non-toxic and low cost.

• High tensile strength, compression and traction.

• Resistant to low temperatures.

The PE can be of low density (PEBD or in English LDPE) and of high density (PEAD or in English HDPE )

Its most common applications are for containers, garbage containers, fish drawers, paint containers, gas, telephone or drinking water pipes, chain guides, mechanical parts, airtight containers ...
