SABIC M40060S HDPE Unimodal Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Measured by ASTM D1505, it’s 0.960 g/cc. This density affects the material’s properties and its suitability for injection – molded products.
• ESCR 100% Igepal®: Based on compression – molded sheet, tested by ASTM D1693B with F50, it’s 6.0 hours, indicating its stress – crack resistance in a 100% Igepal® solution.
• ESCR 10% Igepal®: Tested by F50; ASTM D1693B, it’s 3.0 hours, offering more insights into its performance in a 10% Igepal® solution.
• Melt Flow: Measured by ASTM D1238 at 4.0 g/10 min @Load 2.16 kg, 190 °C. It impacts the injection – molding process and product quality.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) copolymer.
• Key Features:
  
  • Exceptional Flowability: This grade has a very high melt flow rate.
  • High Rigidity: Despite its high flow, the resin maintains high stiffness, with a Flexural Modulus of approximately 1300 MPa (ISO 178).
  • Good Impact Resistance: The material also provides a good balance of rigidity and toughness.

Applications:

• High-Speed Thin-Wall Crates and Containers: The combination of high flow and stiffness makes M40060S an ideal material for large thin-walled crates and plastic containers.
  • The resin’s ability to fill large molds quickly is crucial for the efficient production of items like bottle crates and industrial bins.
• Household Goods: The material is well-suited for various household articles that require 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.
• Durable Toys: M40060S is also used for manufacturing durable toys that require a rigid structure.
  • The material’s balance of stiffness and impact resistance ensures the toys can withstand rough play while the high flow allows for intricate designs and fast production.
