Polyethylene PE
PE, or Polyethylene, is a
chemically
resistant
plastic that can be very
durable.
Polyethylene
plastic comes in a low
density form and a high
density form.
Polyethylene is capable of
being moulded, extruded and
cast into many various shapes.
It is often used in construction
as it is cheap and can be
shaped or moulded easily, this
is why it is appropriated to be
used for the jobs such as

properties
Polyethylene is of low
strength, hardness and
rigidity, but has a high
ductility and impact strength
as well as low friction. It
shows strong creep under
persistent force, which can
be reduced by addition of
short fibers. It feels waxy

properties
PET in its natural state is a colorless,
semi-crystalline resin. Based on how it
is processed, PET can be semi-rigid to
rigid, and it is very lightweight. It
makes a good gas and fair moisture
barrier, as well as a good barrier to
alcohol (requires additional "barrier"
treatment) and solvents. It is strong
and
impact-resistant.
