TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

Basic Knowledge of Polyethylene(PE)

What is Polyethylene?

Polyethylene (PE) is a polymer composed of repeating ethylene units, and it comes in various forms. It is a widely used plastic and is made through two main methods. In high-pressure polymerization, ethylene gas is pressurized at high temperatures with an initiator, forming strong and rigid high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This process operates at high pressures. Low-pressure polymerization, on the other hand, uses catalysts at lower pressures and temperatures to produce low-density polyethylene (LDPE), known for its flexibility. Both methods involve initiating the reaction, adding ethylene molecules to the growing chain, and terminating the process to achieve the desired properties in the plastic.

The other two common variants of PE are Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) with a linear structure for toughness and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) with shorter branches for good tensile strength, commonly used in stretch films. PE is one of the most commonly used plastics in the world. All variants of PE offer cost-effectiveness, widespread availability, electrical insulation capabilities, chemical resistance to solvents and dilute acids, suitability for injection molding, durability, wear resistance, and the ability to produce strong, thin, transparent films.
