1. A method for protecting stacked glass sheets, each of said glass sheets having two major surfaces, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a particulate interleaving material comprised of polyethylene, said polyethylene consisting essentially of a polyethylene selected from the group consisting of high density polyethylene having a number average molecular weight of at least about 150,000 and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene having a number average molecular weight of at least about 1,000,000;
b) applying said particulate interleaving material to one of the major surfaces of a first glass sheet; and
c) bringing a major surface of a second glass sheet into face-to-face relation with said particulate interleaving material on the major surface of the first glass sheet.

Abstract
A method and material is disclosed for protecting glass surfaces in a stack of glass sheets by applying an interleaving material comprised of polyethylene having a number average molecular weight of at least 150,000 to one or both major surfaces of the glass sheets. The glass sheets are then stacked in face-to-face relation for shipment or storage.
