Polyethylene film (PE film) is a lightweight yet durable plastic sheeting supplied in convenient roll form. As one of the most widely used plastic films, it is available in both high-density (HDPE) and low-density (LDPE) grades. HDPE film is known for its strength, solvent resistance, and suitability for food storage and industrial applications, while LDPE film offers clarity, flexibility, and toughness, making it ideal for packaging and wrapping.

PE film is valued for its excellent tape adhesion and resistance to water, rot, wrinkles, and chemicals. It can also be reused multiple times and offers reliable protection against UV exposure for several years. Standard rolls are available in both clear and black to fit the needs of different projects.

Because of its balance of strength and flexibility, polyethylene film is used across many industries. In building and construction, it serves as a protective barrier for concrete curing, painting, and waterproofing. In pest control and extermination, it works as a containment layer. In agriculture, it is often used as a weed barrier or greenhouse covering. Packaging applications also rely on PE film for shrink bundling, pallet wraps, and produce bags.
