Abstract

Polyethylene is a material that is used in many industries as a packaging material. The polyethylene film can thus come into contact with various materials from wood to glass. When the polyethylene film comes into contact with the glass, it is important that it does not contaminate the surface of the glass, as this may impair its further usability. Glass processors from the automotive industry glue other parts to the glass. In the process of assembling other parts on the glass, the critical parameter is the cleanliness of the glass surface so that the required adhesion of the component to the glass is achieved. Contamination of glass that has been in contact with the polyethylene packaging film is discussed in this article. The analysis of the contamination on the glass itself with a discussion of the possible cause of the contamination is discussed in detail with the issuance of recommendations for automotive glass processors regarding the use of polyethylene film that comes into contact with the glass surface.
