PE F7000 is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) film grade known for its high molecular weight and excellent film strength. It is commonly used in applications requiring enhanced ultra-thin films, such as disposable gloves, freezer bags, food and fruit bags, trash bags, and medical gowns. 
Typical Properties:
  • Density (23°C): 0.952 g/cm³ (ISO 1183)
  • Melt Flow Rate (190°C/2.16 kg): 0.04 g/10 min (ASTM D1238)
  • Stress at Yield Point: 250 kg/cm² (ASTM D638)
  • Stress at Break: 390 kg/cm² (ASTM D638)
  • Elongation at Break: Above 500% (ASTM D638)
  • Izod Impact: 30 kg·cm/cm (ASTM D256)
  • Stress Cracking Resistance: Above 600 hours (ASTM D1693)
  • Melting Point: 131°C (ASTM D2117)
These properties make HDPE F7000 suitable for producing films with high tensile strength, good impact resistance, and excellent processability. It is particularly effective in manufacturing advanced ultra-thin films.

Polyethylene F7000 Formulation

Components of Polyethylene F7000 Formulation:
Base Resin:
High-density polyethylene (HDPE): Provides mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and processing stability.
Additives (can vary depending on the specific application requirements):
  • Antioxidants: To prevent thermal and oxidative degradation during processing and use.
  • Common examples: Hindered phenols, phosphites.
  • Slip Agents: To reduce the coefficient of friction, improving the handling of films.
  • Example: Erucamide or oleamide.
  • Anti-blocking Agents: To prevent film layers from sticking together.
  • Example: Silica or diatomaceous earth.
  • UV Stabilizers: To protect the polymer from degradation under UV light exposure.
  • Example: Hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS).
  • Processing Aids: To improve extrusion performance and prevent die build-up.
  • Example: Fluoropolymer-based additives.
Optional Fillers and Pigments:
  • For specific properties like opacity or color.
Properties of Polyethylene F7000:
  • Density: Typically around 0.940-0.960 g/cm³.
  • Melt Flow Index (MFI): Around 0.05-0.5 g/10 min (depending on the grade).
  • Applications: Thin films, shrink films, and packaging films due to its strength, clarity, and processability.

POLYETHYLENE F7000 STORAGE

Proper storage of Polyethylene F7000 is essential to maintain its quality and performance. Below are the recommended storage guidelines:

1. General Storage Environment
Temperature: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid excessive heat or direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
Humidity: Ensure low humidity to minimize the risk of condensation, which could lead to lumping or contamination.
Protection: Keep the material in its original, sealed packaging to protect it from dust, dirt, and moisture.
2. Safety Precautions
Fire Hazard: Polyethylene is flammable. Store away from ignition sources, open flames, or sparks.
Chemical Compatibility: Avoid storing near strong oxidizing agents or other reactive chemicals.
3. Handling Recommendations
Avoid Contamination: Do not expose the material to foreign particles or impurities. Use clean tools and equipment when handling.
Storage Duration: Use within the manufacturer’s recommended shelf life to ensure consistent quality and performance.
4. Stacking and Load Management
Stacking Guidelines: Follow the supplier’s recommendations for pallet stacking to prevent compression or deformation of the material.
Weight Distribution: Ensure even weight distribution when stacking to avoid damage to the packaging.
5. Environmental Considerations
Recyclability: Store scrap or unused materials responsibly for recycling to minimize environmental impact.
