What are Polythene and Polyethylene Strips?
Polythene, also known as polyethylene, is a polymer plastic which could earn the title of the world’s most popular plastic. Around 34% of all plastic made is polythene, or PE plastic. It is ideal for packaging, comes in multiple thicknesses and densities, and responsible for about 100 million tonnes of production per year.
Polythene or polyethylene strips are large strips of this material which can be used for industrial manufacturing. It is non-toxic, resistant to a good cross-section of chemicals, and has a varied list of uses in the modern world.
Polythene was invented by accident by a German chemist in 1898 named Hans von Pechmann. He was conducting experiments on diazomethane when his colleagues discovered the milky white substance produced. It was revived again in 1933 and various years thereafter until the material was perfected.
What do you use Polyethylene for?
This type of plastic goes into the creation of multiple products that we use today. Polythene products include:
- Plastic bags
- Plastic drinks bottles
- Certain types of furniture use polythene foam
- It is used to produce polystyrene
- Disposable cups
- Wet wipes
- Toothbrushes
- Paper plates
- And even in cigarette ends
Polythene Strips Made to a Wide Variety of Densities
Polyethylene (PE) foam strip can be supplied in a variety of grades including high or low densities as well as food grade variants. High Density Polythene (HDPE) is a hardened polymer which you might use to make chopping boards, bottles for shampoo or bleach, and even milk jugs.
At a low density (LDPE), polythene takes on film-like qualities. It becomes highly flexible, fully translucent, and it is also recyclable. LDPE is the type of polythene which you might find in rubbish bags or cling film.
RH Nuttal supply both HDPE and LDPE products for clients in the UK.
