Determination of Ash in Polyethylene

Reference Number: 203-821-691

Overview

The LECO TGA801 offers a high-capacity solution for determining ash and inorganic filler levels in polyethylene (PE) resins to ensure consistent UV resistance and structural durability. By analyzing up to 19 macro samples simultaneously, manufacturers can precisely monitor additives like titanium dioxide and glass fibers to maintain the high-performance standards required for PE films, pipes, and containers.
