SABIC B5403 HDPE Multimodal Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Tested according to the ASTM D1505 standard, the density reaches 0.954 g/cc (0.0345 lb/in³), which is important for its application.
• Melt Flow: As per the ISO 1133 standard, when tested at 190 °C (374 °F) with a 21.6 kg (47.6 lb) load, the melt flow rate is 2.6 g/10 min.

Polymer Properties:

1. Base Material: High – Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
2. Key Features:
   
   • Exceptional ESCR and Durability:The multimodal design significantly enhances the material’s resistance to stress cracking, which is a major cause of failure in plastic containers.
   • High stiffness and structural integrity: Provides the high stiffness required for large, self-supporting structures without compromising durability.

Applications:

This is the primary application for SABIC B5403. Its high stiffness and ESCR are critical for the production of:

• Industrial Drums: For storing and transporting chemicals, solvents, and other aggressive substances. The high ESCR ensures long-term container integrity.
• Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs): The material’s rigidity allows for robust, self-supporting container designs that can handle stacking and transportation loads.
• Chemical Bottles and Jerry Cans: The high ESCR is essential for consumer and industrial containers holding products like bleach, cleaning agents, and automotive fluids, preventing leakage and failure over time.
