Low coefficient of friction
Easy to process
Good corrosion resistance
Polyethylene is available in several grades and formulations but is classified into five main categories according to its density. These five main categories of polyethylene are as follows:
Low density
Linear low density
High density
Ultra-high-molecular-weight
Cross-linked
Additionally, polyethylene can vary between being transparent, translucent, and opaque depending on its thermal history and thickness.
