In high temperature environments, the performance of PE Dust Sheet will undergo a series of changes. Due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, PE Dust Sheet may undergo slight dimensional changes. Although this change is usually not too large, special attention should be paid to occasions where precise dimensional control is required, such as covering precision equipment or artworks.
In addition, long-term high temperature exposure may cause the additives in PE Dust Sheet (such as antioxidants, light stabilizers, etc.) to gradually fail. These additives were originally used to improve the weather resistance and anti-aging properties of the material. Once they fail, the overall performance of the material may decline. High temperature may also accelerate the aging process of PE Dust Sheet, causing cracks, hardening or embrittlement on the surface of the material, thereby reducing its flexibility and durability. In extreme cases, high temperature may even cause PE Dust Sheet to melt or deform, seriously affecting its use effect.
In humid environments, the performance of PE Dust Sheet will also be challenged. Since PE material has a certain degree of hygroscopicity, long-term exposure to high humidity will cause the material to absorb moisture, increase its weight and volume. This will not only affect the handling and installation of the material, but may also cause the material to shrink or deform during the drying process, thus affecting the covering effect and sealing of the dustproof cloth. In addition, a humid environment may also promote the growth of mold. If the PE Dust Sheet is in a high humidity environment for a long time, mold may grow on its surface, which will not only damage the appearance of the material, but also affect its hygienic properties. This effect is particularly significant in industries that require high hygiene standards, such as food and medical.
In cold environments, the performance of PE Dust Sheet will also change. First, because the molecular chain of PE material moves slower at low temperatures, the material will become brittle and hard, which may cause its breaking strength to decrease. Under extreme cold conditions, PE Dust Sheet may be more susceptible to external damage, such as tearing or breaking. In addition, low temperatures may also cause PE Dust Sheet to shrink. This shrinkage will not only affect the covering effect and sealing of the dustproof cloth, but may also cause the material to crack or break under stress.
