General Information
Product Description
RAPREX® R-100 is a high-density polyethylene based resin that exhibits an excellent balance of melt processability and physical properties due to its unique branched structure. It is a thermoplastic resin and is recyclable. Due to its broad molecular weight distribution and melt strength, RAPREX® R-100 is used for pipes, extruded profiles, sheet and large blow molded articles. Raprex® R-100 contains a robust stabilization package providing excellent melt stability as well as long-term heat aging.
