Polyethylene is a white, semi-permeable, and highly durable polymer. In the market, polyethylenes are categorized based on their densities: low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). As density increases, hardness and strength also increase, and the softening temperature rises. Its most prominent characteristic is its resistance to chemicals. PE enables the economical packaging of foods with a long shelf life, chemicals to be safely transported and distributed, clean water pipes, and products that need protection from scratches, thanks to its resistance against chemicals and durability.
