The main components of PE sheets include: LDPE, ZnSt, HDPE, AC foaming agent, DCP, and CaCO3. Below is a detailed introduction to each.

LDPE: Low-density polyethylene, the main component of thermoformed PE sheets. It possesses the characteristics of non-toxic, flammable, and easily oxidized monomer polyethylene. It is not easily absorbent, has good electrical conductivity, and good insulation properties, and is commonly used in soft plastics such as wires and cables and plastic films.

ZnSt: Zinc stearate, a metal soap-type lubricant. Stearates are often used as lubricants in polyolefin plastics because they are readily available, low-cost, non-toxic, and pollution-free. Generally, the zinc content in zinc stearate determines how well the lubricant can disperse in the plastic; the purer and more saturated the zinc stearate, the more temperature resistant it is and the easier it is to disperse.

HDPE: High-density polyethylene, possessing properties similar to low-density polyethylene resin.

AC foaming agent: Azodicarbonamide. The foaming effect of a foaming agent is determined by the amount of gas emitted. AC foaming agent is stable, environmentally friendly, and has inexpensive raw materials, making it widely used in various polyolefin products such as slippers, leather, and sound insulation materials. Decomposing AC foaming agent requires high temperatures, which can degrade plastic products and affect their performance.

DCP: Dicumyl peroxide, a crosslinking agent and initiator for polyolefin polymerization. DCP can alter the structure of rubber and plastics, making PE sheets more resistant to high temperatures, wear, and oxidation.

CaCO3: A commonly used plastic filler, available in light and heavy calcium carbonate (LCC). Light LCC is highly competitive and rapidly developing, but it is supplied to companies as agglomerates, making it difficult to disperse directly in plastic products.

The above is an introduction to the components of PE sheets. In general, they all play important roles.
