PE branch tips are injection-molded polyethylene plastic that creates a realistic look and feel of your tree.
Until recently, artificial Christmas trees were made exclusively using PVC. The branch needles were cut out of compressed PVC sheets which varied in weight, thickness and color.
With today's technology PE branch tips are made using "injection molding" from copies of live tree needles. Artificial Christmas trees using PE tips have the color, look and feel of a real tree. The set-up time for a PE tree is less because the tips are already shaped.
PE trees come in various combinations of PE and PVC depending on the type of tree. They can be 100% PE or a combination of PE and PVC (60%/40% or 70%/30%). The PE branch tips surround the tree, while the PVC is in the inner part of the tree to add density if needed for the look.
We are always are working to improve PE trees, maybe to add - the smell of pine?
