Product Description
K46-06-185 is a natural high molecular weight, high-density copolymer polyethylene developed for automotive fuel tanks. It combines excellent processability and outstanding physical performance, particularly environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) and impact properties. Its high melt strength aids the continuous extrusion production of multi-layer tanks.
