YES! it is cheap, easily processed, chemically inert, flexible, low melting point, used in a variety of forms (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE).
Yes, polyethylene is a very important synthetic polymer.
a polymer
Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer.
No, it's not the same thing. Ethylene is a gas used to produce polyethylene (solid). "Polymer grade" is just a purity label for ethylene gas, means that this ethylene is pure enough to be used in polyethylene (or other polymer) production.
Polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene and it has carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Polyethylene is a polymer of ethene. It is a macro molecule.
no, but polyethylene glycol is.
Polyethylene is a polymer that is made from butane through a process called polymerization.
It is a polymer made from dense polyethylene, which is created from petroleum.
High Density PolyEthylene. A polymer/plastic.
polyethylene terephthalate - a thermoplastic polymer resin
In polyethylene, ethane molecules are converted into ethylene molecules through a process called cracking. Ethylene molecules are then polymerized to form the long chains of polyethylene. Ethane serves as the starting material for the production of ethylene, which is the building block of polyethylene.
