SABIC M200056 HDPE Unimodal Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Measured by ASTM D1505, it is 0.956 g/cc. This density value influences the material’s flow and dimensional stability in injection – molding.
• ESCR 100% Igepal®: Based on compression – molded sheet, tested by ASTM D1693B with F50, it’s 3.0 hours, showing its stress – crack resistance in a 100% Igepal® solution.
• ESCR 10% Igepal®: Tested by F50; ASTM D1693B, it’s 2.0 hours, providing more data on its performance in a 10% Igepal® solution.
• Melt Flow: Measured by ASTM D1238 at 20 g/10 min @Load 2.16 kg, 190 °C. It indicates good flow properties for injection – molding.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
• Key Features:
  
  • Exceptional Flowability: This grade has a very high Melt Flow Rate (MFR)
  • High Rigidity: Despite its high flow, the resin maintains high stiffness, with a Flexural Modulus of approximately 1550 MPa (ISO 178).
  • Good Impact Resistance: The material also provides a good balance of rigidity and toughness.

Applications:

1. Thin-Wall Containers: The combination of high flow and stiffness is ideal for thin-wall injection molding.
   • It is used for producing food containers, lids, and packaging where a lightweight, rigid, and cost-effective design is required.
2. Household Goods: The material is well-suited for various household articles that need both rigidity and efficient production.
   • Its properties allow for the creation of durable items like buckets, storage bins, and large houseware items with a consistent and high-quality finish.
3. Bottle Crates: The high rigidity and flowability make M200056 an ideal material for large injection-molded crates, such as those used for bottles.
   • The resin’s ability to fill large molds quickly is crucial for the efficient production of these items.
