Polyethylene (PE)

The Pistoni Srl company takes care of the withdrawal of plastics which Polyethylene (PE) turning out from the refuse of industrial working. This then endures a phase of manual cleaning in order then to be uniform according to the type. Successively the polyethylene prepared will stocking in box, ready for being milled with granulator (preventively controlled with metal detector). Floreal product (MPS) of polyethylene thus obtained, comes introduced in "Big Bag" ready for the sale.

WHAT IS POLYETHYLENE?
The Polyethylene (PE) is a type of polymer that is classified as a thermoplastic, meaning that it can be melted to a liquid and remolded as it returns to a solid state. As the name implies, polyethylene is chemically synthesized from molecules that contain long chains of ethylene, a monomer that provides the ability to double bond with other carbon-based monomers to form polymers. Polyethylene is known by other, non-official names, such as polythene in the United Kingdom. In addition, it is sometimes spelled as polyethylyne, or abbreviated to simply PE. While polyethylene is essential to the economic health of the plastics industry, most consumers readily recognize the role it plays in everyday life. In fact, this substance is found in many ordinary household items, such as food wrap, shampoo bottles, milk containers, toys, and the common plastic bag used to tote groceries home from the store. However, polyethylene is also present in numerous other products that contain plastic components. For instance, it is used to manufacture artificial knee and hip replacement parts, bulletproof vests, and even glassy flooring for ice skating rinks.
