Product Description
Borecene RM7405 is a third-generation linear medium-density natural polyethylene for rotational moulding. The narrow molecular weight distribution imparted through metallocene catalyst provides an ideal balance of flow and physical properties. Lower MFR enhances melt strength, making the grade ideal for foam and large/thick wall applications. The product is delivered as powder

Applications:
Large, thick walled tanks
Parts for pipe systems
Foaming applications

Additives:
Borecene RM7405 has an additivation specially formulated for rotational moulding, the polymer is fully UV
stabilised and contain long-term antioxidant

Special features:
Good flow
Good physical properties
