Polyethylenes

Polyethylenes constitute the largest family of plastics in use today. They are highly versatile, easy to cut and machine, have excellent chemical resistance, good electrical insulating properties, minimal moisture absorption and low coefficient of friction. Some formulations can withstand temperatures ranging from minus-40 to plus-200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Polyethylenes are classified into categories based on their density and molecular weight. The most common three categories are LDPE, HDPE and UHMW/PE.
