Rubber Modified PE is a subcategory of Polyethylene. The additative is added during the manufacturing process. Its tensile strength ranges from 2300 to 2900 MPa at break. Its elongation at break ranges from 600 to 700 %. Its hardness ranges from 55 to 60 Shore D. Its specific gravity ranges from 0.932 to 0.939. Its melting temperature ranges from 122 to 127 °C.

Polyethylene, also known as PE, is a thermoplastic polymer. Common trade names include Marlex, Alathon, and Hostalen. high density It has good toughness at low temperatures and is inexpensive. PE is the largest volume commodity plastic. It is widely used in blow-molded beverage bottles, auto gas tanks, and extruded pipes.
