Physical Properties
- Density: Measured by ISO 1183 standard, the density is 0.955 g/cc (0.0345 lb/in³). This value is important for applications where mass per unit volume needs to be precisely known.
- ESCR 10% Igepal®: With a result of 180 hours as per F50 and ASTM D1693 – A standards, it indicates the material’s resistance to environmental stress cracking under specified conditions.
- Linear Mold Shrinkage: Ranging from 0.010 – 0.020 cm/cm (0.010 – 0.020 in/in), this measurement is crucial for predicting dimensional changes during injection molding processes.
- Melt Flow: As per ISO 1133, at a load of 2.16 kg (4.76 lb) and 190 °C (374 °F), the melt flow rate is 1.5 g/10 min.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: High – Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Key Properties:
- Superior chemical resistance for long – lasting performance in harsh environments.
- High – level toughness to withstand mechanical stress and impacts effectively.
- Excellent UV stability, enabling extended outdoor use without significant degradation.
- Outstanding moisture – barrier properties, ideal for protecting contents from humidity.
