Polyethylene
Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic material produced by chain polymerisation of ethene (CH2=CH2). Its properties are:
- non-polar
- high chemical resistance
- moderate abrasion resistance
- high elasticity
- high impact strength
- low water absorption
- no additives UV embrittlement
- Polyethylene cannot be printed or bonded, or only with difficulty, without suitable pre-treatment
The variants we offer are HD-PE (high-density PE, e.g. Tyvek) and UHMW-PE (Dyneema®, Ultra®).
