PE Sheet FAQ
Q: What are the main differences between HDPE and LDPE PE Sheets?
A: HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) offers greater stiffness, higher temperature resistance, and better chemical resistance compared to LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene). LDPE is more flexible and has better impact resistance at low temperatures, making it suitable for applications requiring more pliability.
Q: Can PE Sheets be welded or fabricated?
A: Yes, PE Sheets can be easily fabricated using standard plastic welding techniques (hot air, extrusion, or butt welding). They can be cut, drilled, and machined using conventional woodworking tools, though specialized plastic-cutting blades are recommended for cleaner edges.
Additional Features
- FDA-compliant grades available for food contact applications
- Anti-static and conductive options for electronic applications
- UV-stabilized versions for outdoor use
- Custom printing and embossing available
PE Sheet Maintenance and Care
PE Sheets require minimal maintenance. For cleaning:
- Use mild soap and water for routine cleaning
- Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the surface
- For disinfecting, use alcohol-based solutions (avoid chlorine bleach)
- Store away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent UV degradation
PE Sheet FAQ (Continued)
Q: How long does a PE Sheet typically last?
A: Under normal conditions, PE Sheets can last 10-20 years depending on the application environment. Outdoor applications with constant UV exposure may have reduced lifespan unless UV-stabilized material is used. In chemical processing applications, lifespan depends on the specific chemicals and temperatures the material is exposed to.

PE Sheet FAQ (Continued)
Q: Are PE Sheets recyclable?
A: Yes, polyethylene is 100% recyclable. Our PE Sheets are made from pure polyethylene without additives that would interfere with recycling. Many municipal recycling programs accept polyethylene, or you can return production scraps to plastic recyclers. When disposed of properly, PE Sheets have minimal environmental impact compared to many alternative materials.
