Polyethylene 5110 is mainly used for producing polyethylene films, nylon, and plastic parts. The common processing method is the blown film extrusion process. By combining this material with antioxidants and certain heavy polymers, a compound is produced that features properties such as heat resistance, environmental and chemical resistance, high flexibility, mechanical stability, and UV resistance. This blend significantly enhances packaging properties.
