Vyon® Polyethylene (PE)

Vyon® can be manufactured from both UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) and HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). Both materials are durable porous plastics which exhibit high mechanical strength and good chemical resistance. PE is the most popular porous plastic material as it is suitable for a wide range of applications across different industries. With our wide-ranging regulatory approvals, Vyon® PE is an ideal material for use in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Our PE range is available using bio-based virgin polymers, offering a sustainable solution with regulatory approvals to meet market requirements.
