Diazomethane curiosity — polymethylene.
聚乙烯 did not arrive as a finished commodity. ICI 1933 / Ziegler–Natta 1950s around United Kingdom / Germany still explains who makes it and which tests it sits in.
Ten dated points, five eras and three milestones below are the spine — not a complete industrial history.

Knowing this timeline is how to read a mill certificate without treating 聚乙烯 as timeless.
