What`s PE material?

PE is called polyethylene, which is the simplest polymer organic compound, and is the most widely used polymer material in the world today. It is polymerized by ethylene.

Divided into low molecular weight and high molecular weight

Low molecular weight: liquid, colorless, odorless, insoluble in water, density 0.92g/cm3, can be used as lubricating oil and coating;

High molecular weight: generally solid, milky white, with large thermoplasticity, waxy to the hand, and the density is between 0.92 and 0.96 g/cm3. It is corrosion resistant and has good insulation properties.

PE belongs to plastics, which is soft, flammable, easy to process, insoluble in water, and has little water absorption.

Commonly used to make: electrical insulating materials; used as materials for resisting corrosion chemical reagents, can be used as chemical structural materials; used in packaging.
