What is Polyethylen (PE) ?

: in FAQs

Polyethylene is a plastic and is divided into different types:

PE-HD (HDPE): high density polyethylene (0.94 – 0.97 g/cm³); the polymer chains are weakly branched together
PE-MD (MDPE): medium density; individual chains are somewhat more branched together.
PE-LD (LDPE): Here the chains are strongly intertwined, which means that the density is rather low (0.915-0.935 g/cm³).
PE-LLD (LLD-PE): The polyethylene is mainly linear with a few shorter branches. Density is low. PE-LD and PE-LLD are used, for example, to manufacture garbage bags.
PE-HMW: high molecular weight PE; means that the molecular mass is very high (500-1000 kg/mol). This is because more chains are linked together than in PE-HD, PE-LD and PE-LLD.
PE-UHMW: Ultra high molecular weight PE with a molecular mass of up to 6000 kg/mol.

It is used in both spray film extrusion and blown film extrusion.

our products

product-overview

We also produce flat double bags, box inserts double nested, cross bottom bags with welded and cut corners, cross bottom bags double nested, garbage bags, valve bags, trapezoidal bags, flat hoods, gusset bags, round bottom bags double nested, with a double bottom plate, or with a lid disc, Gathering hose, rider band, gusseted hose and much more. As additives, we can equip the bags with slip, antistatic, antiblock, antifog, electrically conductive, food-safe, flame-retardant, slip-resistant or UV-resistant. Smaller quantities are also possible. Buy directly from the manufacturer.

We process high pressure polyethylene (LDPE), medium pressure polyethylene (MDPE), polypropylene (PP) and mixed films. All of the raw materials and masterbatches we use are certified. A REACH declaration of conformity is available for each type of raw material. Each batch delivered has a batch certificate. These are managed and monitored in our quality management system. Depending on the requirements and application, FDA approval is also available. This also applies to all the masterbatches we use. All additives such as lubricants, antistatic, UV stabilizers, anti-slip, antifog or electrically conductive are certified and are used according to your requirements. Only certified batches from well-known manufacturers are used for color additives. An internal quality management system monitors production and thus ensures exact batch tracing.

In this way, we ensure that your product is optimally protected. Our packaging material is used worldwide and is environmentally friendly as it is 100% recyclable. PE films are free of silicone and halogens and contain no plasticizers or heavy metals. During production, there is no odor nuisance or waste water pollution. They are groundwater-neutral when stored on a landfill. No toxic fumes, gases or slag are produced during combustion to generate energy. They burn without leaving any residue to form carbon dioxide and water.

Polyethylene is remeltable, i.e. fully recyclable and can therefore be reused in another form. Our production waste is sorted and sorted for reuse (rLDPE) in our own regeneration plant. For more manufacturing and environmental information, see Manufacturing and Environment.
