Product Description
Clearflex® RL 50 U is a linear medium density polyethylene resin (LMDPE), with antioxidants and UV stabilizers, suitable for rotomoulding applications.

Items manufactured with Clearflex® RL 50 U show good mechanical properties and high environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR).

Thanks to good mechanical properties and high ESCR, Clearflex® RL 50 U is recommended for the production of high capacity containers.
