Polyethylene ifite imiti ihamye kandi irashobora kurwanya aside nitricike, kugabanya aside sulfurike hamwe na aside hydrochloric aside, aside hydrofluoric, aside fosifori, aside formike, acide acike, ammonia, amine, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxide ya sodium, hydroxide ya potasiyumu nibindi bisubizo kuri ubushyuhe bwicyumba.Ariko ntabwo irwanya ruswa ikomeye ya okiside, nka fuming acide sulfurike, acide nitricike yibanze, aside chromic hamwe na acide sulfurike ivanze.Ubushyuhe bwicyumba, ibishishwa bizatanga isuri gahoro ya polyethylene, kandi kuri 90 ~ 100 ℃, acide sulfurike yibanze hamwe na acide ya nitricike izahita yangirika polyethylene, bigatuma yangirika cyangwa ibora.Polyethylene iroroshye gufotora okiside, okiside yumuriro, kubora ozone, byoroshye kwangirika bitewe nurumuri rwa ultraviolet, umukara wa karubone ufite ingaruka nziza zo gukingira urumuri kuri polyethylene.Ibisubizo nko guhuza, kumena urunigi no gushinga amatsinda adahagije bishobora kubaho nyuma yimirasire.

Umugozi wa polyethylene ni uwa alkane inert polymer kandi ufite imiti ihamye neza.Ubushyuhe bwicyumba, aside, alkali, umunyu wamazi wumunyu wangiza ruswa, ariko ntabwo ari okiside ikomeye nko guhumeka aside sulfurike, acide nitricike hamwe na acide chromic.Polyethylene idashonga mumashanyarazi rusange munsi 60 but, ariko hamwe na hydrocarubone ya alifatique, hydrocarubone ya aromatiya, hydrocarubone ya halogene hamwe nubundi buryo bwigihe kirekire bizabyimba cyangwa bisenyuke.

Umugozi wa polyethylene ufite umusaruro wa polyethylene, polyethylene kugirango uhangayikishijwe n’ibidukikije (ibikorwa bya chimique na mashini) biroroshye cyane, gusaza k'ubushyuhe ni bibi kuruta imiterere ya polymer yimiti no gutunganya.Polyethylene irashobora gutunganywa nuburyo busanzwe bwo kubumba bwa termoplastique.Bikoreshwa cyane mugukora firime, ibikoresho byo gupakira, kontineri, imiyoboro, monofilament, insinga na kabili, ibikenerwa bya buri munsi, nibindi, kandi birashobora gukoreshwa nkibikoresho byifashishwa byokwirinda cyane kuri TV, radar, nibindi. Hamwe niterambere ryinganda zikora peteroli, umusaruro ya polyethylene yatejwe imbere byihuse, bingana na 1/4 cy'umusaruro wose wa plastiki.Mu 1983, umusaruro rusange wa polyethylene ku isi wari 24,65 mT, naho uruganda rwubakwa rukaba rufite mT 3.16.Ibisubizo by’ibarurishamibare biheruka gukorwa mu mwaka wa 2011, ubushobozi bw’umusaruro ku isi bwageze kuri MT 96, iterambere ry’umusaruro wa polyethylene werekana ko umusaruro n’ibikoreshwa bigenda bihinduka muri Aziya, kandi Ubushinwa bukaba isoko ry’abaguzi.
