	Polyethylene Summary
		Polyethylene is a long chain polymer produced by the polymerization reaction of liquid ethylene at high temperatures and pressures.
		Polyethylene was used to insulate the cables laid between France and Britain, providing a crucial line of communication towards the end of World War II.
		For common commercial grades of medium-density and high-density polyethylene, the melting point is typically in the range 120-130 degrees C. The melt point for average commercial low-density polyethylene is typically 105-115 degrees C. Most LDPE, MDPE, and HDPE grades have excellent chemical resistance and do not dissolve at room temperature because of the crystallinity.

	High Density Polyethylene
		The mechanism for the polymerization of low-density polyethylene is free radical polymerization.
		Polyethylene is then recovered with the extraction of the solvent, and a filtration and drying process.
		The molecular weight of high-density polyethylene is again controlled by the temperature of catalyst preparation (too high of temperature increases spontaneous chain transfer, but increases the rate of reaction).

	Polyethylene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Polyethylene is classified into several different categories based mostly on its density and branching.
		Polyethylene was first synthesized by the German chemist Hans von Pechmann, who prepared it by accident in 1898 while heating diazomethane.
		The first industrially practical polyethylene synthesis was discovered (again by accident) by Eric Fawcett and Reginald Gibson at ICI Chemicals in 1933.

	Durasul Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene
		Continuous motion between the metal and plastic polyethylene components can cause small particles to be removed from the surface of the polyethylene. Also, the polyethylene may degrade, or age, over time.
		A molecule of polyethylene is a long chain of carbon atoms, with two hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon.
		This allows the polyethylene chains to become mobile and rearrange within the material. Any remaining free radicals combine with other free radicals, forming additional crosslinks. ; The elimination of free radicals gives Durasul its resistance to oxidation, a form of aging that may lead to embrittlement and increases wear.

	Polyethylene
		Polyethylene is the most popular plastic in the world.
		Polyethylene with molecular weights of three to six million is referred to as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, or UHMWPE.
		Polyethylene is vinyl polymer, made from the monomer ethylene.

	The story of Polyethylene
		The early polyethylene rapidly found many uses, but it was soft and low melting, and so its uses were limited - for example you couldn't put boiling water into a polyethylene jug, or it would tend to collapse.
		This is in contrast to the Ziegler and Phillips polyethylenes, which because of their high crystallinity have a much higher density and are referred to as High-Density Polyethylene or HDPE.
		This was a circular piece of polyethylene pipe, about 1 metre in diameter, and teenagers especially would gyrate this on their hips in order to get fit and be in fashion.

	NewAge Industries - Polyethylene Tubing Products - LLDPE Tubing
		Polyethylene (PE) has long been recognized as an engineering plastic that exhibits a high degree of inertness, making it attractive for use in markets such as food and beverage, laboratories, and chemical processing where leaching or permeability would present risks.
		Polyethylene is also one of the lower-cost plastic materials and satisfies many requirements that call for inexpensive, lightweight tubing.
		The inner core of polyethylene is extruded first, then farther down the production line, EVA is extruded around the inner core.

	History of Plastics and Plastic Packaging Products - Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and More
		Polypropylene is similar to its ancestor, polyethylene, and shares polyethylene's low cost, but it is much more robust.
		One of the most impressive plastics used in the war, and a top secret, was "polytetrafluoroethylene" (PTFE), better known as "teflon," which could be deposited on metal surfaces as a scratchproof and corrosion-resistant, low-friction protective coating.
		One of the most visible parts of this plastics invasion was Earl Tupper's "tupperware," a complete line of sealable polyethylene food containers that Tupper cleverly promoted through a network of housewives who sold Tupperware as a means of bringing in some money.

	Polyethylene
		Polyethylenes are semi-crystalline materials with excellent chemical resistance, good fatigue and wear resistance, and a wide range of properties (due to differences in length of the polymer chain.) Polyethylenes are easy to distinguish from other plastics because they float in water.
		Polyethylenes provide good resistance to organic solvents, degreasing agents and electrolytic attack.
		The main difference between low density and high density polyethylene is low density’s flexibility.

	Addition Polymers
		The formation of polyethylene from ethylene (ethene) may be illustrated in the graphic on the left as follows:
		LDPE - Low Density Polyethylene: The first commercial polyethylene process used peroxide catalysts at a temperature of 500 C and 1000 atomspheres of pressure.
		HDPE - High Density Polyethylene: An alternate method is to use Ziegler-Natta aluminum titanium catalysts to make HDPE which has very little branching, allows the strands to pack closely, and thus is high density.
