In order to give a good overview about this course, we need to answer 3 simple questions: What, Who, and How?

What is this course for?

It is all about the essentials of polyethylene. the basic properties, definitions, uses, applications, and so many information that you will learn. This course is designed in a certain structure for easy learning, you will find it very simple, very focused, and practical for actual use.

Who is this course for?

it is for all business or industry related persons:

1. This could be technicians or engineers who use polyethylene as raw material for their machines,

2. Or for salespersons and traders, who are part of the supply chain cycle, and want to get the proper learning for their business,

3. And business owners, who are investing their money in this business, whether it is trading or manufacturing,

4. And could be useful for students, who are in the field of polymer science, petrochemicals, or industrial engineering.

How we will achieve the learning purposes, and get the best of this course?

we designed it on the basis of 3 educational steps; listen, read and, practice:

• Listen to the videos and lessons carefully, repeat it as required as they are very rich in information, and if you still have questions you can communicate us.

• and then, a quick overview about the global market of polyethylene, and its consumption worldwide.

Then, we will have a look on its types:

• The basic methods of classifications, and how to differentiate between each type.

• As well as, the different forms of polyethylene, and how it is being handled in the industry.

After that, we will move to the different properties of polyethylene, such as:

• The molecular properties, and its internal structure,

• The physical properties, such as the melt flow index and the density,

• The mechanical properties such as the tensile strength, flexural stiffness, impact properties and toughness,

• As well as other properties, such as the environmental stress crack resistance.

Then we will move to its industrial applications:

• Starting from the basics of extrusion, and the main components of an extrusion machine,

• The blown film process, and the steps to make a plastic film,

• As well as the pipe extrusion process, and how to make different sizes of plastic pipes,

• The injection molding process, to make housewares

• And finally, the blow molding process to make plastic bottles and drums.

Then, we will have a quick look on its additives:

• Starting from the basics, and its different types,

• With some details on the most important ones, such as antioxidants, used to stabilize the material against oxidation

• Anti-block and slip additives, to make surface modification of the end products,

• The UV stabilizers to protect the product from the UV radiation effects.

Finally, we will have a separate lesson on the key player in the market, meaning the main suppliers in different regions in the world such as the united states, Europe, Africa, middle east, china and others.

And in order to make it easier, you will find that this course is full of animations that illustrate all the details that you will need.
