SABIC HP20023 LDPE Resin

SABIC HP20023 is an additive-free low density polyethylene (LDPE) grade with high melt flow produced by SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation).

Physical Properties

  • Density: Measured per ASTM D1505, the density is 0.923 g/cc (0.0333 lb/in³), defining material lightness and suitability for flexible applications.
  • ESCR 100% Igepal®: Per ASTM D1693B (F50), environmental stress-crack resistance is 6.0 hours, indicating durability under high-concentration stress conditions.
  • ESCR 10% Igepal®: At 10% concentration per ASTM D1693B (F50), ESCR is 2.0 hours, reflecting performance under moderate stress exposure.
  • Melt Flow: As per ASTM D1238, the melt flow rate is 20 g/10 min at 190°C (374°F) under 2.16 kg (4.76 lb), ideal for high-fluidity extrusion or molding processes.

Polymer Properties:

  • Base Material: Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
  • Key Features:
    • Incorporates additives for anti – static functionality.
    • Ensures good thermal stability during high – temp processing.
    • Resists microbial growth in some applications.

Applications:

The balanced and reliable properties of SABIC® HP20023 make it an ideal material for a range of demanding film applications.

  • General Purpose Bags: Used for producing a variety of bags, including consumer bags, bread bags, fresh produce bags, and other general-purpose packaging.
  • 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.
  • Co-extrusion Films: The consistent processability and film properties make it a suitable component in multi-layer co-extrusion films where layers with different properties are required.
  • Shrink Films: Its good mechanical properties and processability also make it a viable option for certain shrink film applications.
