The top three used in bag manufacture are: High Density PolyEthylene (HDPE) is used to make supermarket type carrier bags or chemical drums, jerricans, toys, picnic ware, household and kitchenware, cable insulation Low Density PolyEthylene (LDPE) used to make soft clear bags like the ones used for packing of vegetables, toys and clothes or dispensing bottles, tubing, moulded laboratory equipment, corrosion-resistant work surfaces, parts that need to be weldable and machinable, computer components, such as hard drives, screen cards and disk-drives Biaxially Oriented polypropylene (BOPP) is the crisp crystal clear stuff used for greeting cards, the plastic wrapping round boxes of tea.
In a previous contribution, we reported that the loss of optical transparency of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films correlated with surface roughness on the 100-[micro]m size scale [1].
