PE is offered in a wide variety of grades such as, Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) Very- High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (VHMW) and High- High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMW). All of these grades hold many different properties which make PE a highly sought after material for a variety of applications. Characteristics of PE include: toughness, excellent chemical resistance and electrical properties, low coefficient of friction, near-zero moisture absorption, light weight and ease of processing.
