Physical Properties
- Density: With a density of 0.952 g/cc (0.0344 lb/in³), it provides the necessary physical properties for applications such as stackable canisters and drums for storing liquids.
- Water Absorption: Water absorption is 0.010 %, which is beneficial for products that may come into contact with water or moisture during storage or use.
- Moisture Absorption at Equilibrium: The moisture absorption at equilibrium is 0.010 %, ensuring that the material remains stable and does not expand or contract due to moisture changes.
- Melt Flow:When processed at a load of 2.16 kg and 190 °C, its melt flow rate of 0.10 g/10 min is suitable for blow – molding large – scale containers.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: High – Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Modification Features:
- Easy – to – process in blow molding enables cost – effective production of large – sized containers.
- Good chemical resistance is suitable for packaging aggressive chemicals and surface – active liquids.
Applications:
Lupolen 5361 A is primarily used for creating durable and safe containers that must withstand demanding conditions. Its key applications include:
- Drums and Canisters: This resin is a prime material for manufacturing open-top drums, L-ring drums, and stackable canisters up to 60 liters.
- Industrial and Household Packaging: The resin is widely used for jerry cans and other containers for both industrial and consumer use.
