Polyethylene (PE)

Polyethylene is widely used for the plastic fabrication of consumer products such as chopping/cutting boards, stencils, and tanks. PE is common in the marine industry as it’s strong, hard, and lighter than water. It has a wax like appearance and is available in most colours and thickness sizes. UV stabilizers can be used to improve its weather resistance however it will turn the PE black.

​

Polyethylene (HDEP) is the high-density version of Polyethylene (PE). It can be moulded, machined, and joined using plastic welding.
