Polyethylene F7000 Formulation
- 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.
- For specific properties like opacity or color.
- 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.
