SABIC 2601X1 LDPE Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Determined by ASTM D1505, the density is 0.926 g/cc (0.0335 lb/in³), featuring higher hardness for foam structures.
• Melt Flow Rate: Tested at 190°C with a 2.16 kg load per ISO 1133, the rate is 0.65 g/10 min, suitable for robust foam applications.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
• Key Features:
  
  • High melt strength for complex foam geometries in automotive and aerospace applications.
  • Resistant to environmental stress cracking, suitable for outdoor foam components.
  • Compatible with radiation cross-linking for enhanced thermal stability.

Applications:

• Extrusion and Foaming: The high melt flow and flexibility make it an excellent choice for extruded foams and other extruded articles where a stable, expanded structure is desired.
• Caps and Closures: The combination of flexibility and processability makes it well-suited for manufacturing caps and closures, particularly those requiring a snap fit or pliable seal.
• Flexible Tubing: Its inherent flexibility and strength are ideal for producing various types of flexible tubing and hosing.
