    It's a thermoplastic so yes....

    "For common commercial grades of medium-density and high-density polyethylene, the melting point is typically in the range 120 to 130 °C ((250 to 265 °F). The melt point for average commercial low-density polyethylene is typically 105 to 115 °C (220 to 240 °F)."
