Polyethylene, Oxidized

Chemical properties

white to very slightly yellow pellets

Characteristics

POLYETHYLENE,OXIDIZED is a water-soluble and thermoplastic non-ionic linear high molecular polymer, which has the properties of flocculation, thickening, slow release, lubrication, dispersion, retention and water retention.

The Uses of Polyethylene, Oxidized

Oxidized polyethyleneis is a specialty polymer that finds a wide range of applications as an additive in a broad range of industries.

Definition

ChEBI: Polyethylene, oxidized is an oxo carboxylic acid.

What are the applications of Application

Polyethylene, Oxidised (OPE) and polyethylene (PE) were blended by polymerisation to prepare a novel PE/OPE blend. The concentration of OPE in the PE/OPE blends was increased from 0% to 50%, and the melt temperature was reduced from 123°C to 119°C, with a consequent decrease in thermal stability.OPE was present in the PE lamellae, and the thickness of the lamellae decreased with an increase in OPE inclusions, leading to an increase in brittleness.
