Product Description
COTENE™ K1500 is a cross-linkable polyethylene, which has been specifically developed for rotational moulding applications. A well cross-linked part manufactured from this grade will display outstanding ESCR and notched impact resistance. COTENE™ K1500 Series contains a fully formulated long-term UV stabilisation package.

Cotene™ K1500 refers to natural powder.
Cotene™ K1501 refers to compounded black powder.

COTENE™ K1500 and K1501 are not suitable for food contact or potable water applications.
