Polyethylene film

Kharkiv Plant “Polymercontainer” specializes in the production of high quality polyethylene film.

Plastic film is one of the most popular types of packaging material that is used for packing different sorts of products and serves as an additional protection for goods. It is widely used in the food and non-food industries.

PE film is made by polyethylene extrusion. During the production process, UV stabilizers are added to the film to minimize the negative effects of sunlight and extend its service life. Besides, various dyes can be added to obtain the desired film color and other modifying elements.

KhPPC as a manufacturing plant can provide a film of individual characteristics, according to:

• Length;

• Width;

• Thickness;

• Color;

• Source material;

• Shape: flat, tubular, semi-tubular.

According to the formula, plastic film is divided into two main types:

1. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE). It differs in elasticity and softness by touch, and has high impact stability. LDPE  packaging is glossy and does not “rustle” during interactions.

2.  High-density polyethylene (HDPE). This material is characterized by increased strength against possible stretching, compression, temperature extremes. HDPE is resistant to the influence of chemically aggressive substances.

The company “Polymercontainer” can also produce a medium-density polyethylene film (MDPE) on request. MDPE is a common product of HDPE and LDPE, combining the qualities of the above film types in a certain ratio.

Widespread areas of application of polyethylene film

Agricultural industry. Plastic film is used as a material in greenhouses for growing crops. It protects the crop from the negative effects of wind, temperature fluctuations, excessive moisture, or, conversely, drying out of the soil.

Building industry. The technical film has high isolating properties, excluding the ingress of dust, water, wind and temperature affects. Polyethylene film is used in construction and repair works, for wrapping windows, household appliances, furniture, etc. as additional protection.

Food industry. The film produced by KhPPC can be safely used for packaging food products. Quality certificates are provided for each order of produced goods.

In fact, plastic film is consumed almost everywhere, because its main purpose is to protect the presentable appearance and integrity of the transported products:

• food products;

• metalware;

• textile products;

• household goods;

• products of the medical industry;

• plastic bottles and much more.

Polyethylene film can also be used at large-sized packaging. For example, group packaging of cargo on pallets. Due to its properties, HDPE is excellent for long-term storage of products.
