Owing to its extremely low coefficient of friction, corrosion and chemical resistance, coupled with excellent impact strength, Polyethylene (Polythene) is one of the most popular plastics in the world. It is an enormously versatile polymer, which is suited to a wide range of applications from heavy-duty damp proof membrane to light, flexible bags and films.

By altering the formulation and gauge of polyethylene, the producer/converter can adjust impact and tear resistance; transparency and tactility; flexibility, formability and coating/laminating/printing capability. Polythene can be recycled and many bin bags, agricultural films and long-life products such as park benches, bollards and waste bins use recycled polyethylene. Due to its high calorific value, Polythene offers excellent energy recovery through clean incineration.
