Its is primarily utilised in packaging and production of plastic bags, plastic films, geomembranes, containers including bottles, etc. It is a combination of similar polymers of ethylene with various values of n. Its branched versions are called as low-density polyethylene (LDPE) while its linear versions are called high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE).

Production Process
- Production of Polyethylene (PE) via Polymerisation
Polyethylene is produced from ethylene through its polymerisation. As ethylene is a stable compound, it polymerises only upon its contact with a catalyst. This conversion is highly exothermic and finally produces Polyethylene.
Methodology
The displayed pricing data is derived through weighted average purchase price, including contract and spot transactions at the specified locations unless otherwise stated. The information provided comes from the compilation and processing of commercial data officially reported for each nation (i.e. government agencies, external trade bodies, and industry publications).
