Product Description
HWB-1051 is a certified prime grade Hexene copolymer High Molecular Weight developed for BLOW MOLDING of high performance medium to large size industrial containers. HWB-1051 features good processability, good melt strength, excellent combination of ESCR, high Impact strength, Stiffness, good Thermoform ability, and good chemical resistance. HWB-1051 applications include 20 to 55 gallon containers, chemical and gasoline tanks, carrying cases, automotive parts, tool boxes, truck-bed liners, and sheet, pipe and profile extrusion. HWB-1051 recommended processing temperature is 190 to 210°C.. HWB-1051 complies with FDA regulation 21CFR 177.1520 (c )3.1(a) + 3.2 (a) and with most international regulations concerning the use of Polyethylene in contact with food articles.
