It also has a really <strong>low coefficient of friction<\/strong>. Using some<strong> additives<\/strong>, the characteristics of polyethylene can be changed and it can be made <strong>more hard and rigid<\/strong> if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the main problems with this material is its <strong>melting point<\/strong> which is usually <strong>around 80\u00b0C<\/strong>. This really low temperature can be also <strong>altered<\/strong> thanks to the addition of other chemical substances. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, polyethylene is <strong>completely waterproof<\/strong> and it is a really <strong>good electrical insulant<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Extruded polyethylene products: the uses<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Depending on its use, polyethylene can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plasticol.it\/en\/plastic-extrusion-process\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>extruded using several of molds<\/strong><\/a>. One <strong>one the most common<\/strong> type of extruded polyethylene product is the <strong>film one<\/strong> which is often used to <strong>manufacture kitchen gadgets<\/strong> such as sandwich bags, cling wrap, and food containers in general.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other industrial uses of polyethylene are the manufacturing of <strong>pipes and cables<\/strong>, especially conceived to be used when water is involved (water system in a house for example). This specific shape of molded plastic <strong>comes in handy also in the health care industry<\/strong> since it\u2019s often used for the production of<strong> medical tubes or sample tubes<\/strong>. <\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Location:<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 1.7em\">Via San Carlo 35<\/span><br \/>\n21017- Samarate (VA)<br \/>\n<strong>Phone:\u00a0<\/strong>(+39) 0331 234 212<br \/>\n<strong>Fax:<\/strong>\u00a0(+39) 0331 235 108<br \/>\n<strong>Email:<\/strong>\u00a0info@plasticol.it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extruded plastic products made of polyethylene Extruded plastic products of any kind are commonly used in many industrial fields and this is the reason why the demand of these objects is extremely high.
