Polyethylene mu magambo ahinnye nka PE, ni ubwoko bwa resinoplastique resin ikozwe na polymerisation ya Ethylene.Mu nganda, ikubiyemo kandi kopolymers ya Ethylene hamwe na α-olefin nkeya.Polyethylene nta mpumuro nziza, idafite uburozi, yumva ari ibishashara, ifite ubushyuhe buke bwo kurwanya ubushyuhe (ubushyuhe buke bwo gukoresha bushobora kugera kuri -70 ～ -100 ℃), bufite imiti ihamye, kandi bushobora kwihanganira aside nyinshi na alkalis (ntibishobora kurwanya okiside) ) Acide), idashonga muri rusange muri rusange ubushyuhe bwicyumba, kwinjiza amazi make, kubika amashanyarazi meza;ariko polyethylene yunvikana cyane nibidukikije (ingaruka za chimique na mashini), kandi ifite ubukana buke bwo gusaza.Imiterere ya polyethylene iratandukanye bitewe nubwoko, ahanini bitewe n'imiterere ya molekile n'ubucucike.Uburyo butandukanye bwo kubyaza umusaruro burashobora gukoreshwa kugirango ubone ibicuruzwa bifite ubucucike butandukanye (0.91 ～ 0,96g / cm3).Polyethylene irashobora gutunganywa nuburyo rusange bwo kubumba ibintu (reba gutunganya plastike).Ifite uburyo butandukanye bwo gukoresha, bukoreshwa cyane cyane mugukora firime, kontineri, imiyoboro, monofilaments, insinga ninsinga, ibikenerwa bya buri munsi, nibindi, kandi birashobora gukoreshwa nkibikoresho byihuta cyane byifashishwa kuri TV, radar, nibindi.
Ubwoko bwa PE:
(1) LDPE: polyethylene yuzuye, polyethylene yumuvuduko mwinshi
(2) LLDPE: umurongo muto wa polyethylene
(3) MDPE: ubucucike buciriritse polyethylene, bimodal resin
(4) HDPE: polyethylene yuzuye, polyethylene yumuvuduko muke
(5) UHMWPE: Ultra-hejuru ya molekuline yuburemere polyethylene
(6) Yahinduwe polyethylene: CPE, ihuza polyethylene (PEX)
