Polyolefins polyethylene rotational moldings

Polyolefin - Polyolefins are a large class of carbon-chain elastomeric and thermoplastic polymers usually prepared by addition (co)polymerization of olefins or alkenes such as ethylene. The most important representatives of this class are polyethylene and polypropylene. There are branched and linear polyolefins and some contain polar pendant groups or are halogenated. Unmodified polyolefins are characterized by relatively low thermal stability and a nonporous, nonpolar surface with poor adhesive properties. Processed by extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and rotational molding. Other thermoplastic processes are used less frequently. This class of plastics is used more and has more applications than any other. Also called olefinic resin, olefinic plastic.
