Polyethylene is a high-quality polymer material with the largest production at present, and polyethylene plastics ranks first in the total output of plastics in the world. Low density polyethylene is mainly used for film, coating and other soft products. High density polyethylene is mainly used for making bottles, boxes and other hard products. It can also be made into fiber (called ethylene fiber) for the production of fishing nets, ropes and so on. UHMWPE has a series of excellent comprehensive properties, such as good environmental stress cracking resistance, low moisture absorption, fatigue resistance and high impact resistance. It can be used as wear-resistant and impact resistant parts of textile machinery, such as leather knot, gear and washer.
