What Is Polyethylene Resin?
Polyethylene resin refers to gases or liquids made up of a chain of ethylene monomers, small molecules that combine together in repeating patterns to form a large molecule called a polymer. Although the actual material is polyethylene resin, it is simply referred as polyethylene under most circumstances. It is a type of thermoplastic, commonly used for packaging, toys, plastic shopping bags, gas pipes, hose, tubing, and machine parts.
