What is PE, and what is it used for?
Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer with a variable crystal structure and a wide range of applications depending on the particular type. It is one of the most produced plastics in the world, with tens of millions of tons produced worldwide each year. The commercial process (Ziegler-Natta catalyst) that makes PE so successful was developed in the 1950s by two scientists, Karl Ziegler from Germany and Giulio Natta from Italy.
There are several types of polyethylene, and each is best suited for a different set of applications. In general, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is much more crystalline, and is often used in completely different circumstances than Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE). For example, LDPE is widely used in plastic packaging, such as for grocery bags or plastic wrap. HDPE, by contrast, has common applications in construction (for example, in its use in the manufacture of sewer pipes). Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW) has high performance applications in things such as medical devices and bulletproof vests.
PE Types Are
- Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
- High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW)
Why is PE Polyethylene So Often Used?
Polyethylene is a very useful commodity plastic, especially among product design companies. Due to the diversity of PE variants, it is put into a wide range of applications.
Applications of PE Polyethylene Namely
- Packaging
- Pipes and fittings
- Electricity
- Medical
- Toy
- Consumer products
- Automotive
