Product Description
FINGERPRINT™ DFDC-7525 NT is a medium density polyethylene resin produced using Unipol™ process technology. It is intended for use in thin-wall micro irrigation tape applications and profile extrusion applications. DFDC-7525 NT exhibits good draw down characteristics producing tape with a reliable balance of extrusion ease and toughness.

It also has utility as a blending component to modify and improve the physical properties of high pressure, very low density, linear low density, or high density polyethylene resins. Outdoor applications require the addition of UV stabilizer to maintain the excellent properties over extended periods of UV exposure. Dow DFNF-0092 carbon black masterbatch at a 6.5% concentration has been found
to offer suitable UV resistance.
