Polyethylene and polypropylene retail salesPolyethylene and Polypropylene

(1) Polyethylene (PE)
Thermoplastic resin that is representative of petrochemical products. It is manufactured by polymerizing ethylene. Typically, it is called low-density polyethylene (LDPE) if its density is under 0.94 and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) if it has that density or higher. A method for manufacturing linear low-density polyethylene (L-LDPE), which has similar properties to low-density polyethylene, has been developed. Currently, around 40% of the polyethylene manufactured in Japan is produced using this method.

(2) Polypropylene (PP)
Thermoplastic resin that, along with polyethylene, is representative of petrochemical products. It is manufactured by polymerizing propylene.
