Research of Polyethylene in Products of Autocomponents

Abstract:

Polyethylene is widely used in the production of products for the automotive industry, due to the unique properties and the possibility of manufacturing hollow products of complex geometry. In this work the thermal research of polyethylene in finished productsand the quality assessment of autocomponents materials, depending on the type of polyethylene were conducted. An assessment methodologyof the material of products is suggested, which indicates the difference between the batches of autocomponents products for the acceptance or rejection thisbatch by conducting DSC-analysis. It was found that the products of autocomponents, in particular, "splash-absorbing shield", based on LDPE with a melting point above 110 °C have unsatisfactory performance characteristics. It is shown that modifying additives to improve the elasticity of the LDPE lead to partial the amorphization of PE, that is, a decrease in the degree of crystallinity by 4% relative to the LDPE without additives.
