SABIC M40053S HDPE Unimodal Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Measured by ASTM D1505, it is 0.953 g/cc. This density is fundamental for the material’s performance in injection – molding applications, influencing product quality and appearance.
• ESCR 100% Igepal®: Based on compression – molded sheet, tested by ASTM D1693B with F50, it’s 7.0 hours. 
• ESCR 10% Igepal®: Tested by F50; ASTM D1693B, it’s 4.0 hours. This provides more data on its stress – crack resistance in different conditions, helping to optimize product design.
• Melt Flow: Measured by ASTM D1238, it has a melt flow of 4.0 g/10 min at 2.16 kg and 190 °C (4.0 g/10 min at 4.76 lb and 374 °F).

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
• Key Features:
  
  • Balances stiffness and impact at low temperatures for cold – resistant products.
  • Offers good weatherability for outdoor – exposed applications.
  • Provides good surface properties for a smooth finish.

Applications:

1. High-Speed Thin-Wall Crates and Containers: The combination of high flow and stiffness makes M40053S an ideal material for large thin-walled crates and plastic containers.
   • The resin’s ability to fill large molds quickly is crucial for the efficient production of items like bottle crates and industrial bins.
2. Household Goods: The material is well-suited for various household articles that require both rigidity and efficient production.
   • Its properties allow for the creation of durable items like buckets, storage bins, and large houseware items with a consistent and high-quality finish.
3. Durable Toys: M40053S is also used for manufacturing durable toys that require a rigid structure.
   • The material’s balance of stiffness and impact resistance ensures the toys can withstand rough play while the high flow allows for intricate designs and fast production.
