35 μm blue low density polyethylene film, for packaging, agriculture, construction, medical, etc.
35-micron translucent blue LDPE film has several major application scenarios due to its unique properties.
Here are a few of them:
1. Food Packaging:
The translucent blue LDPE film is ideal for packaging food items such as fruits, vegetables, and meats.
The blue color offers a significant advantage as it helps to keep the food fresh by preventing UV rays from damaging the food.
2. Healthcare Industry:
The 35-micron translucent blue LDPE film is widely used in the healthcare industry to manufacture medical bags, pouches,
and other essential items. The blue coloration of the film is used to indicate that it is for medical purposes only and also aids
in the identification of the contents inside.
3. Industrial Packaging:
The film is used in several industrial applications such as the packaging of electronic and electrical components.
The blue color of the film provides protection from UV rays, dust, and moisture.
4. Agriculture:
The film can be used in the agriculture industry to cover plants to protect them from harsh weather conditions such as
excessive sunlight, rain, and frost. The blue translucent coloration also offers a unique advantage, as it can allow the right
proportion of sunlight to enter, allowing photosynthesis.
5. Protection from Contamination:
The film can be used to provide protection from contamination, dirt, and dust for various materials such as textiles, garments,
and components during transportation and storage.

To increase the mechanical properties and enlarge the application range for LDPE film,
several approaches can be taken. Here are some of them:
1. Blending:
Blending LDPE with other polymers can improve its mechanical properties and widen its application range.
For example, blending LDPE with linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) can improve its tensile strength, impact resistance,
and puncture resistance. Blending LDPE with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) can improve its stiffness and resistance to stress cracking.
2. Adding additives:
Adding various additives can modify the properties of LDPE film and enhance its mechanical properties.
Additives such as fillers, elastomers, and reinforcing agents can improve the strength, durability, and flexibility of LDPE film
and widen its application range.
3. Coating:
Applying a coating to LDPE film can improve its mechanical properties and enlarge its application range.
Coatings such as acrylic, urethane, and silicone can enhance the film's barrier properties, improve its adhesion and enhance
its printing quality.
4. Orienting:
Orienting LDPE film can improve its mechanical properties and widen its application range. Orientation involves stretching the film
in either the machine direction (MD) or transverse direction (TD) to align the polymer chains and improve its strength, toughness,
and tear resistance.
5. Cross-linking:
Cross-linking can improve the mechanical properties of LDPE film and make it suitable for high-temperature applications.
Cross-linking involves modifying the polymer chains of LDPE to form a three-dimensional network that improves the film's
thermal stability, chemical resistance, and stiffness.
6. Controlling Processing Conditions:
Controlling the processing temperature, pressure, and extrusion speed during LDPE film production can improve its mechanical
properties. Optimal processing conditions can ensure consistent properties of LDPE film and enlarge its application range.
In summary, blending, adding additives, coating, orienting, cross-linking, and controlling processing conditions are all methods that can be used to increase the mechanical properties and enlarge the application range for LDPE film.
