Plastic packaging is very commonly used, but do you know what materials are used to produce plastic bags? One of them is PE plastic resins – a safe material when producing plastic packaging. In the article below, Hanpak will provide information about PE plastic resins in plastic packaging production.
What are PE plastic resins?
PE plastic granules are flexible plastic granules with electrical, thermal and waterproof properties. This plastic pellet is clear white in color and is a common raw material which people use to produce plastic packaging. During the application process, we can add other colors to create uniqueness for the plastic packaging product.
This is also one of the safest materials to produce plastic packaging. In addition, people also use to make water tanks, bottles, and manufacture equipment in the chemical production industry.
Structure of PE plastic resins
PE plastic pellets are made from the chemical compound Polyethylene, which is the simplest and most common polymer today. To better understand its structure, please look at the illustration below:
The structure of the PE chain has a straight or branched structure, depending on how the polymer is synthesized using many different techniques, the structure also changes.
Application of PE plastic resins in plastic packaging production
Plastic packaging made from PE plastic beads and functional additives. People use them a lot in daily life, from markets, grocery stores, supermarkets and often call plastic bags.
PE plastic packaging has the following characteristics: Transparent, glossy surface, soft, flexible, waterproof and vapor resistant. But PE packaging is poor against O2, CO2, N2 and grease.
By combining PE plastic and functional masterbatches, it is possible to create popular PE packaging types such as clear PE bags and vacuum PE bags to ensure safety when used.
