Description
HEG00952 is a high-density polyethylene resin manufactured by IEPL using the SCLAIRTECH solution polymerisation process, offering medium molecular weight with broad molecular weight distribution. As a copolymer it combines excellent orientation characteristics, negligible water carry-over and low gel content with an excellent balance of high tenacity and good elongation, making it especially suitable for raffia tapes and monofilament.
Recommended applications
- Woven sacks
- Monofilament for ropes
- Oriented tapes
- Jumbo bags (big bags)
- Tarpaulins
