Making jelly jars. Jelly is packaged at a temperature higher than polyethylene's glass transition temperature, so the jars would deform if you tried it.

Why you do not use polythene?
Polythene (polyethylene) is largely used around the word. Now we can produce biodegradable polyethylene or we can recycle the polyethylene.
What are the polymers formed from Ethene?
ethane is a precursor to ethylene which is polymerized to form polyethylene
How was polyethylene discovered?
Polyethylene is the accidental plastic--as in they synthesized it by accident three or four different times. Someone was heating some diazomethane, and polyethylene just precipitated out of solution. Someone else compressed a mixture of ethylene and benzaldehyde to 6000 psi and polyethylene just precipitated out of solution. And the Philips company of the Netherlands attempted to make high-density polyethylene in the 1950s, and accidentally made two million pounds of medium-density polyethylene before they finally got it right. (They then invented the Hula Hoop to use up all the bad polyethylene.)
What is the use of polyethylene glycol for the human body?
"Polyethylene glycol has many uses, including many related to the human body. Polyethylene glycol or PEG is used in many laxatives. It is also found in many eye drop lubricants, toothpastes, skin creams and sexual lubricants."
Is polyethylene a thermosetting or thermoforming plastic?
Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer.
Why you do not use polythene?

What will glue high density polyethylene to itself?
High density polyethylene foam. Use heat. Non foam plastic use super glue.
Which is stronger Polyethylene or dyneema?
Polyethylene Which is stronger Polyethylene or dyneema?
Can polyethylene be painted?
Polyethylene can be painted with a moderate amount of success if properly prepared. You should only use acrylic paint on polyethylene. The surface needs to be cleaned and scuffed up with a fine grit sandpaper to hold the paint.
Is terephthalate safe for use in cosmetics?
Is it "polyethylene terephthalate"? Probably, and if so it's perfectly safe. Polyethylene terephthalate is the plastic soda bottles are made from.
What are the polymers formed from Ethene?
ethane is a precursor to ethylene which is polymerized to form polyethylene
What is polyethylene glycole?
Polyethylene glycol is used for medicinal purposes. It's most common use is for occassional constipation. This should be used under the care and instruction of a doctor.
What is polyethylene glycol typically used in?
Polyethylene Glycol is typically used in the making of laxatives that are used for the preparation of the bowel for surgery or for a colonoscopy. Polyethylene Glycol is also an ingredient in several over the counter laxatives for short term use for the relief of chronic constipation.
What metal is a polyethylene?
Polyethylene is a plastic, not metal. In fact, polyethylene is the most common plastic now-a-days.
Will a large polyethylene cylinder sink or float?
I found three different kinds of polyethylene described online, and the density of all of them is less than 1.00 gm/cm3 . So that means that no matter what kind of polyethylene you use, and no matter what shape you fashion out of it, it will float in water.
