SABIC HP4027NN LDPE Resin
SABIC HP4027NN is a low density polyethylene (LDPE) grade with increased density produced by SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation).
Physical Properties
- Density: Measured via ASTM D1505, the density is 0.927 g/cc (0.0335 lb/in³), reflecting a balance of lightness and structural integrity for versatile use.
- Melt Flow: As per ASTM D1238, the melt flow rate is 4.0 g/10 min at 190°C (374°F) under 2.16 kg (4.76 lb), indicating high fluidity for efficient extrusion or molding processes.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Key Features:
- Higher density improves rigidity and film strength
- Shows superior drawdown ability for high-output production
- Delivers excellent optical properties (clarity/low haze)
- Additive-free (no slip, antiblock, or antioxidants)
Applications:
The high processability, clarity, and balanced properties of SABIC® HP4027NN make it an ideal material for a range of demanding film applications, particularly those requiring high output and thin gauges.
- General Purpose Bags: Used for producing a variety of bags, including consumer bags, bread bags, fresh produce bags, and other general-purpose packaging.
- High-Speed Converting Films: The high MFR is specifically suited for high-speed film production and automated packaging lines where smooth handling is critical.
- Food and Textile Packaging: Its balanced strength and optical properties are well-suited for films used in both food packaging and textile wrapping, offering product protection and visibility.
- Protective and Shrink Films: Its good mechanical properties and processability also make it a viable option for certain protective and shrink film applications.
