Packing of polysilicon

Abstract

A bag contains polysilicon, has been welded and includes at least one weld seam and a polyethylene film having: a thickness of 150-900 μm; a stiffness at a flexural modulus Fmax of 300-2000 mN and Ft of 100-1300 mN; a fracture force F determined by dynamic penetration testing of 200-1500 N; a fracture energy Ws of 2-30 J; a penetration energy Wtot of 2.2-30 J; a film tensile stress at 15% longitudinal and transverse elongation of 9-50 MPa; an Elmendorf longitudinal film tear resistance of 10-60 cN; an Elmendorf transverse film tear resistance of 18-60 cN; a longitudinal film elongation at break of 300-2000%; a transverse film elongation at break of 450-3000%; and a weld seam strength of 25-150 N/15 mm. A method includes filling a bag with polysilicon, and welding by pulse sealing with contact pressure greater than 0.01 N/mm2 to obtain a 25-150 N/15 mm weld seam strength.
