Sheet Polyethylene (PE) is a versatile polymer material produced in the form of sheets of various thicknesses and sizes. It is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and features unique properties that make it popular in various industries.

Material Description

Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer known for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to chemical exposure. Polyethylene sheets have a smooth surface and are most commonly white, black, or naturally translucent, though other colors are also available.

Key Properties and Features

  1. High Chemical Resistance: Polyethylene is resistant to most acids, alkalis, salts, and solvents.
  2. Water Resistance: Completely impermeable to moisture.
  3. Mechanical Strength: High impact resistance.
  4. Flexibility and Elasticity: Sheets are easy to bend, simplifying processing.
  5. Thermal and Frost Resistance: Operating temperature range from −60°C to +80°C, depending on the type of polyethylene.
  6. Ease of Processing: Suitable for cutting, welding, milling, and drilling.
  7. Durability: Resistant to corrosion and unaffected by moisture.
  8. Eco-friendliness: The material is recyclable.

Applications

  1. Industry:
    • Production of tanks, reservoirs, and containers.
    • Manufacturing machine parts, gaskets, and seals.
  2. Construction:
    • Waterproofing floors, roofs, and foundations.
    • Creating drainage systems.
  3. Food Industry:
    • Production of cutting boards and packaging materials.
  4. Medicine and Pharmaceuticals:
    • Insulation coatings, containers for reagents.
  5. Agriculture:
    • Setting up ponds and water bodies.
    • Producing feeders and other equipment for animals.
  6. Household Needs:
    • Building greenhouses, covering objects.

Processing Characteristics

Polyethylene sheets are easily processed using standard methods:

  • Mechanical Processing: Cutting, milling, drilling.
  • Welding: Sheets can be joined using hot air or extrusion welding.
  • Bending: Complex shapes can be created by heating the material.
