PolyEthylene (PE) Product Description

PolyEthylene (PE) is a thermoplastic that have excellent chemical resistance and would not be attacked by strong acids or strong bases. It is also resistant to gentle oxidants and reducing agents.

The melting point is typically in the range 120°C to 130°C for common grades of HDPE (high density polyethylene), with an operating temperature from -50°C to +90°C. At the same time, PE has good insulation properties and is easy to weld.
