Polyethylene

Engineering Plastics

 Engineering plastics Engineering plastics are a group of plastic materials that have better mechanical and/or thermal properties than the more widely used commodity plastics (such as polystyrene, PVC, polypropylene and polyethylene).  Being more expensive, engineering plastics are produced in lower quantities and tend to be used for smaller objects or low-volume applications (such … Read more

Properties of polythylene

Properties of polythylene Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer with variable crystalline structure and an extremely large range of applications depending on the particular type. It is one of the most widely produced plastics in the world (tens of millions of tons are produced worldwide each year). The commercial process (the Ziegler-Natta catalysts) that made PE … Read more
