Product Description
ALCUDIA® 5203 is a high density polyethylene copolymer of hexene, with middle molecular weight. It is specially designed to make, by blow moulding extrusion, tanks for liquid detergents and chemicals.
This grade contains stabilizers according to the end use of the item in order to reinforce the thermal stability.
ALCUDIA® 5203 is approved for food contact under certain legislation.
ALCUDIA® 5203 polyethylene includes stabilizers that permit it to retain the properties after undergoing high temperatures during processing.
High resistance to surfactants are do to the rest of its characteristics.
