A member of the polyolefin family of polymers, polyethylene is one of the most widely-used plastics in the world. The most common types of polyethylene are high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and high-molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE). Polyethylene is an ideal choice for many fabricators due to its low-temperature strength, excellent resistance to chemicals and solvents, formability, and weather ability with added UV stabilizers.
