The composition and coloring laboratory. In it, the white high-density and low-density ethylene granules are colored according to the color required in the market, or UV is added to them. Stabelizer as a stabilizer. The quality control unit was visited, which examines product specifications such as the fluidity and density index. Then the mechanical specifications are checked after the entire production process is completed, the most important of which is measuring the percentage of elongation and tensile strength at the point of failure.
