HDPE PE100
What is polyethylene granule?
Polyethylene granule, abbreviated as PE granule, is a type of polymer widely used in the plastic industry, which has various types. Polyethylene raw materials, polyethylene compounds and recycled polyethylene are three different forms of polyethylene granules, and in this article we will introduce you to the distinctive features of each. Granul Plus Trading Company with more than 25 years of experience in the polymer industry can provide valuable services to you, the consumer, in line with custom production and sales of light (LDPE) and heavy (HDPE) polyethylene raw materials such as HDPE PE100, F7000, P1000 and EX5. Provide polyethylene compound and recycled polyethylene.
Production stages
Polymer compounds have been developed to achieve desired functions in various applications. For example, in the automotive industry, these compounds are used to lighten and increase fuel efficiency. They can replace heavy metals and help reduce fuel consumption due to being lighter. Also, polymer compounds used in food packaging should be materials that do not react with food or cause contamination.
Making a polymer compound involves the mechanical mixing of different elements accurately and based on a specific formulation. This process can be done at different temperatures and pressures and using devices such as extruders, internal mixers (Banbury mixers) or rolling mills.
The key point after choosing the right raw materials is to determine the correct proportions and optimize the production process so that the mechanical, thermal, chemical and physical properties of the final product are produced exactly as desired. Finally, polymer compounds must pass various quality tests to verify compliance with standards and application requirements.
In polymer science, many advances have been made in the development of new compounds, from the invention of biodegradable polymers and smart polymer compounds that can respond to environmental changes, to the optimization of traditional compounds to improve their performance. As the complexity of industrial and technological applications increases, the need to design and produce diverse and more advanced polymer compounds also increases.
Types of polyethylene pellets
Polyethylene granule is one of the most widely used polymers in the plastic industry, and different types of it are produced according to different features and applications. Some types of polyethylene materials in the plastic industry are:
1. Light polyethylene coded LDPE (low density polyethylene): LDPE is commonly used in the production of films and flexible packaging such as plastic bags.
2. Heavy polyethylene code HDPE (high density polyethylene): HDPE is used to produce pipes, rotating containers and industrial parts due to its high resistance to impact and heat and high mechanical strength compared to LDPE.
3. Linear Polyethylene (LLDPE): LLDPE has features such as flexibility, wear resistance and high strength and is used to produce cover films, bags and food packaging.
4. Composite polyethylene (MDPE): MDPE has intermediate properties between LDPE and HDPE and is used to produce gas and water pipes.
5. Ultra-conductive polyethylene (UHMWPE): UHMWPE has high resistance to wear, anti-corrosive properties and high flexibility, and is used for parts that need resistance to wear and erosion.
Also, other groups of polyethylene such as ultra heavy polyethylene (UHMWPE) and light polyethylene (VLDPE) are also used in the plastic industry.
As mentioned earlier, polyethylene granules can be used in three forms: raw material, recycled material, and polyethylene compound. Raw polyethylene granules, which are also known as virgin polyethylene materials, have specific health and standard applications and are produced for domestic consumption. Petrochemical raw materials are not allowed to be exported abroad and any action in this regard is considered a violation. But on the other hand, recycled polyethylene and polyethylene compounds can be exported to other countries in addition to being sold in the domestic market and earn currency. In the following, we will learn about each of these two polymer granules.
Polyethylene compound
Polyethylene compound is a composite plastic material that is produced by combining different raw materials in order to improve the characteristics of polyethylene. The raw materials used in the preparation of polyethylene compound may include the following:
1. Polyethylene with different density (for example, high-density polyethylene or low-density polyethylene)
2. Fillers such as calcium carbonate or talc
3. Antioxidants and stabilizers
4. Pigments and dyes
5. Mechanical reinforcement materials such as fiberglass or polyamide
6. Various materials to improve surface characteristics or dielectric properties
The use of these different raw materials leads to the creation of polyethylene compounds with various characteristics such as different density, higher resistance to heat or higher resistance to impact.
Also, various additives may be added to the polyethylene compound to improve processing characteristics, such as catalytic materials to control the polymerization rate or plasticizers to increase flexibility and variety in some characteristics.
Due to the various types of these raw materials and additives, polyethylene compound can create many variations in its properties and applications, including mechanical resistance, flexibility, thermal stability and surface properties.
Polyethylene compound can be used for various purposes such as packaging, pipes, films, industrial parts, etc. It is worth mentioning that the variety of features and applications of polymer compounds, especially polyethylene compound, is very wide and is very important for producers and consumers of polymer materials in plastic industries.
Recycled polyethylene
Recycled polyethylene is a type of polymer that is produced from recycled plastic parts. This type of recycled material is produced from various sources such as plastic bottles, industrial films, pipes, bags and other polyethylene products. Recycled polyethylene is used to remanufacture polyethylene products, which reduces the consumption of new resources and preserves the environment.
Recycled polyethylene usually has the same properties as virgin polyethylene, but may be of slightly lower quality in some cases. However, using recycled polyethylene can help reduce waste and protect the environment.
Recycled polyethylene can be used to produce various products such as shopping bags, tubes, garbage bags, packaging materials and other products. This process can help reduce fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Also, using recycled polyethylene can reduce production and processing costs and help improve waste management and the environment.
Using recycled polyethylene can be used as a sustainable solution to reuse resources and reduce negative impacts on the environment.
