HDPE 54B04 UV

Description

Characteristic Properties

The HDPE 54B04 (UV) is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) grade explicitly designed for injection molding applications. It is characterized by its high rigidity, ease of processing, and, most importantly, its UV resistance. These properties make it particularly suitable for various applications, including crates, pallets, seats, boxes, caps & closures, and other items that require durability and resistance to environmental factors such as sunlight.

Key Properties:

Co-monomer: Contains Butene-1, which contributes to its overall performance and properties.
Density: Ranges between 950-958 kg/m³, indicating a relatively high density compared to other plastics, which is typical for HDPE grades.
Melt Flow Rate: Approximately 3.2-4.8 g/10 min, balancing processability and mechanical strength.
UV Protection: Yes, highlighting its resistance to degradation caused by exposure to ultraviolet light is critical for outdoor applications.

Main Applications

Crates, pallets, boxes, and seats for transportation and storage of goods
Caps and closures for bottles and containers
Sealant and adhesive cartridges for construction and industrial purposes
Street furniture, such as benches, trash bins, and signs

The primary industries that use HD 54B04 (UV) include:

Food and beverage packaging
Automotive and Transportation
Construction and building
Agriculture and horticulture
Consumer goods and household
