Polyethylene
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is considered one of the most prominent and durable types of thermoplastics used in industrial applications. It is known for its high strength, excellent chemical resistance, and ease of fabrication. Thanks to its higher density compared to other types of polyethylene, HDPE offers greater rigidity and impact resistance, making it ideal for harsh environmental and operational conditions.
Polyethylene sheets and their wide range of applications are utilized across various industries, including the manufacturing of pipes and water tanks, industrial product packaging, plastic sheets and panels, as well as transportation and storage sectors. It is also widely used in infrastructure, especially for water, gas, and sewage pipelines, due to its high resistance to corrosion and chemical reactions.
As part of El Sharq company for Metals and Industrial Supplies‘ advanced material solutions, we offer high-quality plastic materials, including Artelone rods/sheets and Artelone turned rods/sheets. These materials are known for their strong mechanical properties and excellent wear resistance, making them ideal for precision applications and demanding industrial environments.
Additionally, the Polyethylene provided by El Sharq is recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for companies seeking eco-friendly solutions without compromising on quality or performance.
