Product Description
SABIC® HDPE M40053S is especially developed for the high demanding dustbin market. It is an excellent UV stabilized HDPE copolymer grade. It shows an ideal combination of processability, consistency and product properties. It provides optimized high stiffness/cold impact-balance, surface quality and weatherability properties.

Typical applications:
SABIC® HDPE M40053S is especially recommended for the manufacture of injection molded dustbins (waste containers on wheels and household containers). The grade is also very suited for high demanding production of crates & boxes (pallet boxes, pallets, boxes applied at very low temperatures) and pails & container applications (industrial, shipping).
