The use of some types of high density PE is allowed to manufacture fuel-oil containers and fuel tanks.
PE is odourless, tasteless and physiologically harmless and is well suited for use in the food sector.
It is also easy to weld using traditional welding systems. Because it is non polar and not very adhesive, PE is difficult to glue and to decorate.
The surfaces of PE can be printed, painted or glued using contact adhesives, only after pretreatment with plasma oxidation, or with glow discharge, oxidising flame, ozone or in a chromic acid solution.When machining PE, be careful not to overheat the material.

Mechanical, chemical, electrical, advertising and food sectors in the form of semifinished products for tooling, such as solid round bars, hollow round bars, pipes and sheets. It is used to make equipment for the chemical industry, bins and containers, liners for hoppers and chutes.
