Polyethylene film

What is polyethylene film?

PE Film is a plastic film made from ethylene, a hydrocarbon which is mainly obtained from natural gas or petroleum. The terms ‘plastic sheeting’, ‘polyethylene sheet’, ‘poly sheeting’ or ‘poly film’ are often used as synonyms for polyethylene film.

The term polyethylene is abbreviated as ‘PE’, the same way polystyrene and polypropylene are abbreviated as ‘PS’ and ‘PP’ respectively. In the United Kingdom, the word ‘polythene’ is often used instead of ‘polyethylene’.

What types of polyethylene film are there?

PE Protective Film can be made of different types of polyethylene. The most sold types of polyethylene are:

• Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE).

• High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE).

• Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE).

Polyethylene film can also be manufactured in different colours or be transparent. In addition, it can be purchased in different thicknesses.
