Glossy, crystal clear to opaque, hydrocarbon-based, and both durable and versatile, polyethylene or PE coating is a thermoplastic coating suitable for food grade uses, and long-lasting enough to be a common coating for buried pipes. Heat- and cold-tolerant, it is a cost-effective coating solution for numerous environments.



In such applications as pipe coating, its seamless surface protects vulnerable metal from corrosion and oxidation. PE coatings are also very popular when superior, lasting protection against impacts and abrasions is needed. Refrigerator shelving, dish drainers, garment drying racks, and other wire products are a very popular application for PE coatings, particularly in commercial settings where they must withstand heavy, very frequent use. PE coatings are also sought out for such heavy-abuse situations as playground equipment, park and other outdoor furniture, and bicycle racks. Because PE plastic coatings can be formulated in a wide variety of colors, they can satisfy visual appeal or brand coloring requirements for consumer goods and other applications.

How Crack-Resistant Is Polyethylene Coating?

Polyethylene coating can be applied by electrostatic spraying or fluidized bed coating, processes which offer an extremely smooth, seamless, complete coating. PE coatings possess enough ductility, or ability to change shape, that they will usually stretch or bend more than some other coatings, before cracking. Cracking tends to occur due to mechanical damage, becoming brittle through age or exposure, or where coating has been poorly applied. Barring these exceptional circumstances, polyethylene is up to the challenge, providing
