What are Polyethylene Properties?
The properties of polyethylene vary depending on the grade of the virgin material used to synthesize this thermoplastic and its structural crystallization. Generally, the integrity of end product polyethylene-based material in the plastics industry is based on density and melting point. However, since this substance can be produced by a number of methods to polymerize ethane, each will yield differences in specific polyethylene properties. The variations likely to lead to these differences involve molecular weight, density, and the degree of branching of carbon molecular attachment.
