Polyethylene is a hard, stiff, strong and a dimensionally stable material that absorbs very little water. It has good gas barrier properties and good chemical resistance against acids, greases and oils. It can be highly transparent and colourless but thicker sections are usually opaque and off-white. Polyethylene also has good self extinguishing properties and resistance against ultra violet.
