Polyethylene is the most widely-consumed thermoplastic in the world by volume. We produce three types of polyethylene, namely HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE where:
a) HDPE products are characterised by greater toughness and superior mechanical strength, coupled with higher service temperature limits.
b) LDPE products are easy to process and have good strength and clarity.
c) LLDPE products offer improved strength, chemical resistance and a higher melting point, making them suitable for high film strength applications.
