SABIC P5616N HDPE Multimodal Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: As per the ASTM D1505 standard, the density is 0.956 g/cc (0.0345 lb/in³). This high – density value increases the material’s stiffness for pipe applications.
• Melt Flow: According to the ISO 1133 standard, at 190 °C (374 °F) and a 21.6 kg load, the melt flow rate is 16 g/10 min. It shows excellent flowability for efficient pipe production.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
• Key Features:
  
  • Very High Stiffness and Rigidity: The material provides exceptional stiffness, allowing for significant down-gauging of film thickness while maintaining strength.
  • Excellent Film Processability: The multimodal design ensures a broad processing window.
  • Superior Barrier Properties: The high density of 0.956 g/cc (0.0345 lb/in³) contributes to superior barrier properties against moisture and gases.

Applications:

The combination of very high stiffness, excellent mechanical properties and robust processing capabilities makes it the material of choice for demanding film applications requiring exceptional performance.

• Packaging Films: It is widely used for bags, liners, and pouches that require very high strength and puncture resistance, such as for food, consumer goods, and industrial products.
• Corrugated Sheets: The material’s exceptional stiffness and toughness are leveraged in the production of corrugated sheets and lightweight panels for packaging and temporary structural applications.
• Agricultural Film: Its durability and barrier properties make it suitable for mulch films and protective covers in agricultural applications.
• Plastic Bags: It is an excellent choice for producing high-quality carrier bags and other consumer bags that need to be very strong and rigid.
