A typical plastic raw material, polyethylene (PE) is one of the cheapest and easy to process plastic resins. Therefore, it is widely used in plastic products for the medical industry, such as medical devices and medical tools.
Since the properties of polyethylene (PE) are cheap and easy to process, it is suitable for mass-produced products. Polyethylene (PE) is often used for containers and cases, and it can be used without problems even at low temperatures, but has the disadvantage of being vulnerable to fire and heat. In addition, polyethylene (PE) has a feature that it has high water resistance because it has almost no water absorption, and a feature that it floats on water because its specific gravity is light. Furthermore, it has high insulation properties and hardly conducts electricity.

Polyethylene (PE) is generally classified into Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The biggest features of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) are floating, high chemical resistance, high electrical insulation due to low water absorption, flexible and resistant to low temperatures.
High Density polyethylene (HDPE) has higher rigidity than Low Density polyethylene (LDPE), and has properties such as high chemical resistance and electrical insulation.
