(1) differences in application;

Polyethylene (PE) applications: plastic wrap, vest plastic bags, plastic food bags, buckets, kettles, etc.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) applications: plastic wrap, plastic shoes and leather products, films, cables, plastic bags.

(2) different characteristics;

Polyethylene (PE) feels waxy, lighter than the same plastic, and has a certain degree of transparency.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) characteristics: hard plastic, commonly used in industrial fields.

3. Differences in material properties;

Polyethylene, referred to as PE. It is a polymer of ethylene and is non-toxic. Easy coloring, good chemical stability, cold resistance, radiation resistance, good electrical insulation. It is suitable for food and drug packaging materials, the production of food utensils, medical equipment, but also do the electronics industry insulation materials.

Polyvinyl chloride, referred to as PVC. It is a polymer of vinyl chloride. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a synthetic material with many advantages and is an ideal material for engineering plastics. Good chemical stability, acid and alkali resistance. Moisture resistance, aging resistance, flame retardant.
