ExxonMobil HD 6733.17 HDPE Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: ASTM D4883 sets density at 0.950 g/cc (0.0343 lb/in³), defining the material’s mass per unit volume under standard tests.
• Melt Flow: ASTM D1238 measures 33 g/10 min at 190°C with a 2.16 kg load, indicating high flowability for efficient processing.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: High – Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
• Modification Features：
  
  • Narrow molecular weight distribution for optimized injection molding speed
  • Enables high productivity in thin-wall article production
  • Processes at lower temperatures to ensure food-grade purity (tasteless/odorless)

Applications:

The properties of HD 6733.17 make it suitable for a range of applications, including:

• Food Packaging Containers: The resin’s compliance with food contact regulations (users should always verify with their ExxonMobil representative for specific compliance information) and its low taste and odor profile make it ideal for items like tubs, lids, and other containers for food products.
• Food Service Trays: Its good stiffness and impact resistance are beneficial for reusable or single-use food service trays.
• Housewares: The resin is used for various household articles that require a good balance of stiffness and toughness.
• Toys: The material’s durability and safety profile make it a suitable choice for toys.

In summary, ExxonMobil HD 6733.17 is a versatile HDPE resin that offers a compelling combination of processability, stiffness, and toughness. Its high melt flow is a significant advantage for manufacturers looking to increase the productivity of their injection molding operations, especially for thin-walled consumer goods and packaging.
