Polyethylene

Why Polyethylene Plastics Are Widely Used

Polyethylene plastic or plastic is one type of plastic raw material that is more widely used from HDPE plastic, PP plastic, PE plastic, ABS plastic, nylon sheets, PET plastic ,  and other plastic raw materials. To make it easier for you to know about PE plastic, the following are the characteristics of nylon bars:

1. It is a Relatively Safe Plastic

The use of Polyethylene (PE) plastic can be said to be relatively safe because its molecular structure is resistant to chemicals. This is why, PE is often used as a food and beverage container.

2. Has Diverse Strengths

Polyethylene (PE) plastic has several types of density that determine its strength. One of the strongest types is HDPE or High Density Polyethylene. Meanwhile, for high flexibility, you can choose LLDPE or Linear Low Density Polyethylene. PE with the lowest strength is LDPE or Low Density Polyethylene.

3. Light and Easy to Apply to Various Areas

Through different manufacturing processes, polyethylene is formed from atoms of various densities. In addition to the density of the structure, this also makes PE a lightweight plastic. The denser the branch atomic structure of PE plastic, the harder its physical character. But in general, PE is light enough to be used in various areas.

4. Have High Flexibility

Polyethylene (PE) plastic is a type of plastic that is lightweight and has a linear structural element, PE plastic has high flexibility. This is because there is space between the molecules. This high flexibility is what makes PE plastic strong and durable.

5. Equipped with Ultraviolet Light Stabilizer

In the production process, polyethylene is often equipped with a UV stabilizer. This is done to protect the plastic from the long-term effects of ultraviolet light, especially for outdoor use.
