Polyolefin Testing Instruments

Polyolefin is a non-polar and non-porous material that is used in structural plastics, consumer goods, industrial products, and food packaging. Polyolefin is referred to as a thermoplastic or polyalkene since polyolefin has a waxy texture. This substance is mainly used in research and production in the petrochemical and organic chemical industries. Polyolefin materials found in industry include polyethylene, polypropylene, and polybutene. Polyethylene is used in plastic grocery bags and shrink wrap. Polypropylene is made up of hard plastic resin that is used in carpeting, dishwasher-safe plastic food containers, and food packaging, and polybutene is a liquid form used in synthetic rubber, lipstick, makeup, and lubricants. The polyolefin-based heat shrink tubing is used for helping protect wires and new electronic components. Polyolefin elastomers are used for various purposes as it is the leading material for automotive exterior and interior applications especially in thermoplastic olefins TPOs via impact modification of polypropylene, wire and cable, extruded and molded goods, film applications, medical goods, adhesives, footwear, and foams. Manufacturers use various testing instruments to test the quality of Polyolefin plastics such as Polyolefin Testing Instruments.
