Polyethylene

Primex extrudes a number of High Density (HDPE), Low Density (LDPE) and High Molecular Weight (HMWPE) polyethylene resins.

When an order is received, the appropriate material is chosen to yield the necessary physical properties such as melt index and density. The result is a sheet that has the proper “sag” during the thermoforming operation, assuring even material distribution and wall thickness. The correct resin selection is essential to provide sheet that will perform properly.

Primex also produces a line of printable grades of polyethylene for use in real estate signs and truck mud flaps. In addition, polyethylene can be modified with talc or calcium carbonate fillers to provide increased dimensional stability and improved lay-flat characteristics.
