Polyethylene (PE) is the most widely used polymer in the flexible & rigid packaging industry, including injection moulded articles, and offers an excellent set of properties for these applications, including strength, rigidity, sealability and barrier to water. It is manufactured in a range of densities & melt flows and either as a homopolymer or copolymer.
Polypropylene (PP) is a low-density polymer widely used throughout the industry and especially in injection moulding. Having a very good strength to weight ratio means that costs and material usage can be kept to a minimum.
Polyolefin producers ponder pricing policy as feedstock costs increase.
