Laser Surfacing of High Density Polyethylene for Reduction in Fuel Permeability
Source abstract
Abstract
The effect of UV and CO2 laser radiation on the surface of HDPE gas tank material in relation to the permeability of this surface to unleaded gasoline has been investigated. It is found that while excimer (UV) laser radiation has no effect on permeability, CO2 laser radiation at low intensity modifies the surface so as to reduce permeability over timescales of 1 – 2 days. A possible origin for this modification is suggested.
