Metallocene polyethylene (mPE) is a type of polyethylene (PE) that is produced using metallocene catalysts. PE is a widely used plastic material due to its excellent properties, such as high toughness, low density, and chemical resistance. However, conventional PE produced using Ziegler-Natta catalysts has some limitations in terms of its molecular structure and properties. mPE has several advantages over conventional PE, including improved processability, better barrier properties, enhanced mechanical properties, and improved heat sealability. It finds applications in various industries, such as packaging, automotive, and healthcare. Some of the key properties of mPE include: High tensile strength and toughness Improved clarity and transparency Low gel content Improved barrier properties to gases and liquids Improved impact resistance Improved heat sealability The metallocene polyethylene (mPE) market has been growing steadily over the years and is expected to continue its growth tra...
