Differences between PE and PP materials

PE polyethylene is a thermoplastic resin prepared by polymerization of ethylene. It is odorless, non-toxic and feels like wax. It has excellent low temperature resistance, good chemical stability and can resist the erosion of most acids and bases.  

PP polypropylene is a thermoplastic resin prepared by polymerization of propylene. It is usually a translucent colorless solid, odorless and non-toxic; Its melting point can be as high as 167 ℃, which is heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and the products can be disinfected by steam; Low density, is the lightest general plastic; Due to its high crystallinity, this material has good surface stiffness and scratch resistance.

Purchase suggestions: select PE winding pipe:

1. The main needs are sorting, protection and environmental beautification

2. It requires economical price and less budget

3. There is no requirement for wear resistance

It is recommended to select PP spiral protective sleeve:

1. The service environment is complex and harsh, and the requirements for wear resistance are high

2. It needs rich colors to adapt to the use environment

3. There are requirements for product quality and service life
