Product Description
ALCUDIA® 45061 is a high-density polyethylene copolymer of hexene, with high molecular weight. It is specially designed to make, by blow moulding, tanks or medium and high capacity.
It is classified as Type III, Class A, Category 5 according to ASTM D1248-84
This grade contains stabilizers according to the end use of the item in order to reinforce the thermal stability.
Density and high molecular weight of ALCUDIA® 45061 give excellent chemical resistance, high impact strength and ESCR.
ALCUDIA® 45061 is approved for food contact under certain legislation.
