Bottles made of Polyethylene terephthalate ( PET, sometimes PETE ) are recycled to reuse the material out of which they are made and to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills.

Polyethylene terephthalate, commonly referred to as PET, for instance, has a resin code of 1.

Vistalite drums were a line of acrylic PET ( Polyethylene terephthalate ) drums produced by the Ludwig Drum company, introduced in 1972.

Polyethylene naphthalate ( PEN ) ( Poly ( ethylene 2, 6-naphthalate ) is a polyester with good barrier properties ( even better than Polyethylene terephthalate ).

Materials Safety Data Sheets from the manufacturer show that different varieties of Thinsulate are made from different mixtures of polymers, but most are primarily Polyethylene terephthalate or a mixture of Polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene.

In May 2008, Daniel Burd, a 16-year-old Canadian, won the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Ottawa after discovering that Sphingomonas can degrade over 40 % of the weight of plastic bags ( Polyethylene ) in less than three months.

Polyethylene, polypropylene, and poly ( methyl methacrylate ) are sensitive to oxidation and UV radiation, while PVC may discolour at high temperatures due to loss of hydrogen chloride gas, and become very brittle.

Polyethylene liners are placed into the shell and connected by a rim locking mechanism, ceramic and metal liners are attached with a Morse taper.

Polyethylene based WPCs are by far the most common.

Polyethylene glycol 3350 can be taken daily to soften the stools without the significant risk of adverse effects that are common with other laxatives.

Polyethylene, polystyrene and expandable microspheres are the most common types of polymer microspheres.

Polyethylene microspheres are commonly used as a permanent or temporary filler.

Most commonly, the plastic used to make bin bags is the rather soft and flexible LDPE ( Low Density Polyethylene ) or, for strength, LLDPE ( Linear Low Density Polyethylene ) or HDPE ( High Density Polyethylene ) are sometimes used.

Polyethylene and polypropylene are considered to be the best resins for living hinges, due to their excellent fatigue resistance.

Polyethylene glycol fluids are hygroscopic and will absorb water from the atmosphere, which is necessary to prevent sheer and undiluted water in the braking system, which is very corrosive, also water droplets can freeze in the pipes, thus blocking the system.

Polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, vinyl, PVC, PET, metalized surfaces, foils, paper, and paperboard stocks are commonly treated by this method.

For instance, polyethylene ( PE ) is a cheap, low friction polymer commonly used to make disposable shopping bags and trash bags, and is considered a commodity plastic, whereas medium-density polyethylene ( MDPE ) is used for underground gas and water pipes, and another variety called Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene UHMWPE is an engineering plastic which is used extensively as the glide rails for industrial equipment and the low-friction socket in implanted hip joints.

The base ( the side of the board which contacts the ground ) is made of Polyethylene plastic.

In 2010 a Japanese researcher Akinori Ito released the prototype of a machine which creates oil from Polyethylene using a small, self-contained vapor distillation process.

Polyethylene glycol is used to fuse adjacent plasma membranes, but the success rate is low so a selective medium in which only fused cells can grow is used.

Molded in Low Density Polyethylene, Polyseal cone liners form to the inside of the bottle neck providing a leak-proof seal which guards against back-off and product evaporation.

* Polyethylene, which produces and sells PE and includes both the Alberta and Ontario based PE assets.

It is then sleeved in Hi-Density Thermoplastic Polyethylene which makes it maintenance free.

Polyethylene ( other than cross-linked polyethylene ) usually can be dissolved at elevated temperatures in aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene or xylene, or in chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethane or trichlorobenzene.

Polyethylene can also be made from other feedstocks, including wheat grain and sugar beet.

( Gel Spun Ultra high Molecular weight Polyethylene, made by Dupont, and called " Spectra " Tm ).

Polyethylene ( abbreviated PE ) or polythene ( IUPAC name polyethene or poly ( methylene )) is the most common plastic.

Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer consisting of long hydrocarbon chains.

Polyethylene burns slowly with a blue flame having a yellow tip and gives off an odour of paraffin.

Polyethylene is classified into several different categories based mostly on its density and branching.

Polyethylene was first synthesized by the German chemist Hans von Pechmann who prepared it by accident in 1898 while heating diazomethane.

Polyethylene glycol ( PEG ) is a polyether compound with many applications from industrial manufacturing to medicine.

Polyethylene glycol is produced by the interaction of ethylene oxide with water, ethylene glycol, or ethylene glycol oligomers.

Polyethylene oxide, or high-molecular weight polyethylene glycol, is synthesized by suspension polymerization.

Polyethylene glycol is also commonly used to fuse B-cells with myeloma cells in monoclonal antibody production.

* Polyethylene glycol has a low toxicity and is used in a variety of products.

* Polyethylene glycol is also commonly used as a polar stationary phase for gas chromatography, as well as a heat transfer fluid in electronic testers.

" Polyethylene ( Parts 1 & 2 )", included on the CD1, 7-inch vinyl, and Japanese releases of the single, were a multi-section piece formatted much like " Paranoid Android " itself.

Polyethylene naphthalate has been found to exhibit scintillation by itself without any additives and is expected to replace existing plastic scintillators due to higher performance and lower price.

; PET, Polyethylene terephthalate-on-steel: It is sold with the trade mark of PowerPet.
