Polyethylene packaging

Although they have an endless variety of properties, polymers can be divided into three general categories, based on their form and resistance to stretching. These are plastics, fibers, and elastomers. Plastics differ in form from fibers whereas plastics exist as blocks or sheets, fibers have been drawn into long threads. Unlike plastics or fibers, elastomers can be stretched without breaking. Polyethylene packaging films and polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipe are examples of plastics. Orion carpets are made from polymer fibers, and mbber bands are elastomers. Some polymers, such as Nylon, can be formed into both plastics and fibers. 

For industrial markets, NNZ supplies industrial bulk containers, polyethylene packaging, polypropylene sacks, transit packaging and paper bags.

We carry out such an experiment every time we tear polyethylene packaging. Looking closely, it is easy to see the neck forming and propagating easily along the film.

Of particular economic relevance could be the removal of ethylene and CO2 from the environment storage of fruit and vegetables. Indeed, it is well known that the postharvest life and quality of many fruits, vegetables, and flowers are seriously shortened if they are exposed to trace amounts (also few ppb) of ethylene. For this purpose active packaging has been realized by adding zeolites, silica, or activated carbon to commercial polypropylene or polyethylene packaging films. 

Ground Ethiopia coffee (L23, particle sizes 400-800 pm) suitable for the so-called paper drip mode was hermetically stored in polyester/aluminum/ polyethylene package at — 20°C after sealing under vacuum and used within 24 hr for headspace sampling. Before headspace sampling, the package...
