It is made by a process called polymerization, this is where they take lots of monomers (in this case ethene) and combine them together using an addition reaction. This is only possible in monomer where there is a double bond as to add them the double bond has to break for there to be enough room on the carbon for the new monomer. This process is done millions of times and is finally makes polythene which is used to make bin liners and poly bags.
This is the proses:
Crude Oil -> Crude Oil Vapour --> Diesel Oil --> Ethene --> Polothene

Ok if you mean polyethene then that's made up of lots of ethene monecules (poly meaning 'lots of') hope this helps?

How do you permanently bond a polyethylene tarp to another polyethylene tarp using a cold glue?
Double sided foam tape is a permanent bonding solution as a cold glue alternative for a polyethylene tarp adhering to another polyethylene tarp. There is no solvent that has been specifically made as a cold glue for polyethylene but are solutions as alternatives.
