Polyethylene is a very ductile material that lends itself to many uses.
In the packaging sector, it is chosen for its softness, transparency, elasticity and resistance to tears and punctures. It is waterproof and has great insulating properties, allowing the contents to be preserved even in the presence of humidity and water. The characteristics of the material, in chemical terms, remain stable in a range from -40° C to 80° C, thus resisting atmospheric changes and exposure to heat sources.
Thanks to its insulating properties, polyethylene is suitable for containing not only solid products, but also liquids and powders, as it is water-repellent. It is a material that allows the creation of extremely light, flexible and adaptable articles for any content, capable of protecting and supporting, showing considerable resistance. Products made of polyethylene are recyclable, perfect for companies that are attentive to environmental issues.
Furthermore, it is a non-toxic solution, ideal for processing, transporting and maintaining food, in compliance with European legislation in terms of contamination. The material can be sterilized with the most common sterilization methods.
Polyethylene films are a flexible and lightweight packaging, easy to weld and with excellent non-stick properties. This packaging is resistant, guarantees excellent performance at low costs and offers a wide range of uses, especially in the food industry. The film comes in the form of reels.
Its peculiar characteristics are:
- Ease of processing;
- Excellent chemical resistance;
- Tenacity and flexibility even at low temperatures;
- Absence of toxicity and odor;
- Low/very low permeability to water vapor;
- Excellent dielectric properties: with the addition of antistatic additives, the tendency to attract dust due to electrostatic charges is minimized.
