Polyethylene Materials for Moulding and Extrusion, including LDPE, LLDPE, and HDPE, are essential thermoplastics used across industries for a variety of applications. Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is flexible, transparent, and resistant to impact and moisture, making it ideal for packaging, plastic bags, and containers. Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) offers higher tensile strength and elongation, making it suitable for film extrusion, packaging, and agricultural films.
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals and impact, widely used in containers, pipes, and plastic bottles. Compliance with IS 7328:2020 ensures these materials meet crucial specifications for melt flow, tensile strength, impact resistance, and environmental safety, ensuring their reliability and performance across diverse industrial applications.
Introduction
Under the Quality Control Order 2023, the DPIIT has
mandated BIS certification for Polyethylene Materials for Moulding and
Extrusion in accordance with IS 7328:2020, effective from January 1, 2024. The
certification covers three key types of polyethylene—LDPE, LLDPE, and
HDPE—ensuring that only certified materials are used in manufacturing processes
critical for packaging, pipes, and various other products.
This certification aligns with India's goals of enhancing the consistency, quality, and safety of industrial materials and promoting standardization across the polyethylene production industry.
Why BIS Certification is Necessary for Polyethylene
Material for Moulding and Extrusion
BIS certification for Polyethylene Materials under IS 7328:2020 ensures that
manufacturers meet essential quality and safety standards. It guarantees
material consistency, ensuring uniform performance and reliable processing
characteristics. The certification also ensures compliance with safety
standards, making the material safe for both industrial and consumer use, while
adhering to environmental regulations. It validates the high-quality production
of polyethylene, ensuring it meets durability and performance requirements for
a range of applications. Additionally, BIS certification enhances market
readiness, giving manufacturers the credibility needed to access both domestic
and international markets, promoting business growth and customer trust.
Overview of Indian Standard IS 7328:2020
IS 7328:2020 outlines the quality parameters for Polyethylene Materials for Moulding and Extrusion, detailing specific requirements for each type. Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is characterized by its flexible, low-density molecular structure, making it ideal for packaging applications. Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is defined by its linear structure, providing enhanced strength and resistance to stress, making it suitable for demanding packaging applications. High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) requires a high-density molecular structure, offering excellent durability, chemical resistance, and suitability for industrial applications such as pipes and containers. The standard also specifies essential characteristics such as melt flow index, tensile strength, elongation at break, and other key properties, ensuring consistent quality and performance across all polyethylene types.
