PE (HDPE/LDPE)
Polyethylene - HDPE / LDPE
PE is the world's most widely used plastic, available in various densities. HDPE offers high strength-to-density ratio, excellent chemical resistance, and good impact strength. LDPE provides flexibility, low-temperature toughness, and excellent moisture barrier. PE is ideal for packaging, containers, pipes, and consumer products.
