Polyethylene is a lightweight thermoplastic made from hydrocarbons.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is the most widely used plastic. It is relatively inexpensive, flexible, strong, and chemical-resistant, and can be molded molded into bottles, food packaging, and plastic toys. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is stronger than LDPE and is made into products such as grocery bags, car parts, packaging, and piping.

Is polymer grade ethylene same as the polyethylene?
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 made from ethane molecules that have been joined together what is ethane in this polymer?
The monomer
Is polystyrene or polyethylene stronger?
No, both are different. Polystyrene is a polymer of styrene (C6H5CH=CH2) whereas polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene (CH2=CH2).
What polymer is formed when lots of ethane molecules are joined together?
The plastic poly [ethene ]- polyethylene is formed.
Polyethylene is a polymer made from ethane molecules that have been joined together. What is ethane in this polymer?
The monomer
Is polyethylene a type of synthetic polymer?
Yes, polyethylene is a very important synthetic polymer.
What is a Polyethylene?
a polymer
Is polyethylene a thermosetting or thermoforming plastic?
Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer.
What are polyethylene molecules made of?
Polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene and it has carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Is ethylene glycol a polymer?
no, but polyethylene glycol is.
What type organic compound is polyethylene?
Polyethylene is a polymer of ethene. It is a macro molecule.
