SABIC P5305N HDPE Multimodal Resin
SABIC P5305N is a natural – colored multimodal HDPE developed for non – pressure pipe applications, offering high stiffness and an optimal stiffness/ESCR balance.
Physical Properties
- Density: Determined by the ASTM D1505 standard, the density is 0.953 g/cc (0.0344 lb/in³). This high density contributes to the material’s stiffness for non – pressure pipe applications.
- Melt Flow: According to the ISO 1133 standard, at 190 °C (374 °F) and a 21.6 kg load, the melt flow rate is 4.5 g/10 min. It affects the material’s flowability during extrusion.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Key Features:
- Multimodal structure imparts high stiffness and a favorable stiffness/ESCR ratio.
- Presented as a natural grade, ideal for non – pressure pipe production.
Applications:
The combination of high stiffness, excellent mechanical properties, and strong processability makes SABIC P5305N a preferred material for demanding film applications where superior performance is required. Its primary applications are in:
- Packaging Films: It is widely used for bags, liners, and pouches that require high strength and puncture resistance, such as for food, consumer goods, and industrial products.
- Corrugated Sheets: The material’s high stiffness and toughness are also leveraged in the production of corrugated sheets and lightweight panels for packaging and temporary structural applications.
- Agricultural Film: Its durability and barrier properties make it suitable for mulch films and protective covers in agricultural applications.
- Plastic Bags: It is an excellent choice for producing high-quality carrier bags and other consumer bags that need to be strong and rigid.
