SABIC HP4024WN LDPE Resin
SABIC HP4024WN is an LDPE resin designed for stretch films, offering enhanced tensile strength and tear resistance in demanding applications.
Physical Properties
- Density:Measured per ASTM D1505, the density is 0.923 g/cc (0.0333 lb/in³), a key indicator of material compactness.
- Melt Flow:Tested via ASTM D1238, the melt flow rate is 4.0 g/10 min at 2.16 kg load and 190 °C (4.76 lb/374 °F), reflecting processability in extrusion or molding.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material:Low – Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Key Features:
- Is white – tinted for effective light – blocking in packaging.
- Improves moisture – barrier for dry – product storage.
- Has an easy – release feature for certain processes.
Applications:
The high processability and balanced properties of SABIC® HP4024WN make it an ideal material for a range of demanding film applications, particularly those requiring high output and thin gauges.
- General Purpose Bags: Used for producing a variety of bags, including consumer bags, trash bags, and shopping bags, where tear resistance and strength are important.
- Thin-Gauge Films: The high MFR is specifically suited for thin-film applications, such as retail and industrial packaging films where material reduction is a key benefit.
- Agricultural Films: Suitable for mulch films, greenhouse covers, and other agricultural applications where durability and opacity are needed.
- Industrial Packaging: Ideal for heavy-duty sacks, protective covers, and other industrial wraps.
