Polyethylene (PE)
is a thermoplastic resin made from the polymerization of ethylene, processed using standard thermoplastic molding techniques. Its properties vary depending on the polymerization method. Polyethylene is classified into high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) based on polymerization method, molecular weight, and chain structure. It is widely used in the production of films, packaging materials, paper coatings, containers, pipes, monofilaments, wires, cables, and daily necessities. It also serves as high-frequency insulation material for televisions and radars.
