Our Polymer Products
Polyethylene (PE)
PE is widely used in chemical tanks, liners, and water treatment parts due to its excellent resistance to moisture, corrosion, and low temperatures. It is ideal for applications involving fluid handling, piping systems, wear strips, and cutting boards. PE's toughness and chemical inertness make it suitable for food industry, water storage, and even orthopedic implants in high-grade variants.
