HDPE HD5218UA

Description

DESCRIPTION

The HDPE 5218UA is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) copolymer that contains butane-1 as the co-monomer. It is characterized by a narrow molecular weight distribution, making it suitable for thin-wall injection molding applications. This material is designed for fast cycling applications and exhibits low warping, offering a good balance between toughness and stiffness characteristics. It is UV stabilized and can be formulated with anti-oxidants and slip agents upon request.
