Descriptor	polietileno
Entry term(s)	HDPE polietileno de alta densidad politeno
Scope note:	Polímero de vinilo a partir del etileno. Puede ser ramificado o lineal. El polietileno ramificado o de baja densidad es duro y maleable pero no en el mismo grado que el polietileno lineal. El polietileno lineal o de alta densidad tiene una mayor dureza y tensión de rotura. El polietileno se emplea en diversos productos como PRÓTESIS E IMPLANTES.

Scope note:

A vinyl polymer made from ethylene. It can be branched or linear. Branched or low-density polyethylene is tough and pliable but not to the same degree as linear polyethylene. Linear or high-density polyethylene has a greater hardness and tensile strength. Polyethylene is used in a variety of products, including implants and prostheses.
