PE (Polyethylene)
A thermoplastic material that varies from type to type according
to the particular molecular structure of each type, i.e. its crystallinity,
molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution. These variations
are possible through changes in polymerization conditions used during
manufacturing. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has a melt point
of 221°F (105°C), specific gravity of 0.91 to 0.925 g/cc, increased
toughness, stress cracking resistance, clarity, flexibility, and
elongation. It also has reduced creep and mold shrinkage. Polyethylene
of higher density such as HDPE has better permeation barrier properties,
hardness, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and surface
gloss. It is important to note that photo or light oxidation will
occur when natural PE is exposed to UV radiation, usually from the
sun
