Basic Knowledge of Plastics: Advantages and Disadvantages of PE

Introducing the benefits of polyethylene, which has high waterproofing properties and particularly excellent mechanical strength at low temperatures!

As basic knowledge of plastics, we will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of "PE." The advantages include excellent mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and weather resistance, as well as low raw material costs and ease of processing. The disadvantages are that it has low heat resistance, making it vulnerable to fire and heat, and it has poor adhesion properties, which requires caution when it comes to painting or printing. 【Advantages】 ■ Low raw material costs and ease of processing ■ Excellent mechanical strength ■ Particularly excellent mechanical strength at low temperatures ■ Excellent chemical resistance ■ Excellent weather resistance ■ High waterproofing due to almost no water absorption *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
