Product Description
Reclair O35042, is a Octene comonomer based, Medium Density Polyethylene grade designed for Rotational Moulding applications. Reclair O35042 can be used for producing special products like Automotive components, Diesel Fuel tanks, Chemical tanks, Manholes, Insulated fish crates and pallets. Due to the Octene comonomer and medium density of resin, articles exhibit excellent toughness, impact resistance and environmental stress-crack resistance (ESCR).
