Polyethylene is one of the most widely used thermoplastic polymers in the world. It is produced through the polymerization of ethylene monomers, resulting in a lightweight, flexible, and durable material. Known for its excellent chemical resistance, electrical insulation properties, and moisture barrier, it is ideal for packaging, plastic bags, containers, pipes, and household products. There are different types of polyethylene, including high-density (HDPE) and low-density (LDPE), each with unique properties and applications. Its recyclability and cost-effectiveness contribute to its global popularity. Polyethylene plays a key role in industries such as packaging, construction, agriculture, and healthcare.
