Product Description
Safrene® M 6650 High Density Polyethylene Resin is a high molecular mass grade specifically designed for extrusion blow moulding of containers greater than 20 liter capacity. It has a high melt viscosity and is primarily recommended for use on modern generation equipment.

Safrene® M 6650 High Density Polyethylene Resin exhibits outstanding impact strength, high rigidity and good environmental stress-crack resistance. It is particularly suitable for drum applications between 50 liter and 250 liter and satisfies SABS 1176 requirements for the transportation of dangerous goods.
