The world's most used plastic, in three families
Polyethylene is made from ethylene and comes in three main families. LDPE is soft and clear, LLDPE adds strength and puncture resistance to thin films, and HDPE is stiff and strong for bottles, crates and pipes.
Most buyers run a mix: an LLDPE for strength blended with LDPE for processing, or an HDPE grade tuned to one process. Tell us your current grade and process; we offer the same or an equivalent grade from Middle East producers with full data sheets.

Frequently asked questions
LDPE, LLDPE or HDPE: which one do I need?
Use LDPE for clarity and easy processing, LLDPE for strength and puncture resistance in thin film, and HDPE for stiffness in bottles, crates and pipe. Many film lines blend LLDPE with 20–30% LDPE.
Can you match the grade we use today?
Yes. Send us the producer and grade name from your current TDS. We offer the same grade or a close equivalent and send both data sheets so your team can compare.
Do you supply prime or off-grade material?
Prime grades only, in the producer's original bags with lot numbers and a certificate of analysis for every lot.
What is the minimum order?
One 40' high-cube container, usually 24.75 MT (990 bags of 25 kg) on pallets.
Is the material KKDİK registered?
Polymers themselves are exempt from registration under KKDİK, as under EU REACH, but the monomers must be covered. We confirm this with the producer before quoting into Türkiye.
What payment terms do you work with?
Letter of credit at sight, or 30% advance and 70% against copy of the bill of lading. Other terms are possible after a first successful order.
