Product Description
HD0840 is a very high molecular weight High Density Polyethylene copolymer resin, especially formulated for use in large part mouldings where strength and rigidity are of importance. It combines excellent impact strength with good ESCR.

HD0840 is especially suited for blow moulding drums from 15L to 220L and supported IBC's to 1000L in volume. HD0840 is also suitable for Dangerous Goods (DG) applications - depending on the design of the container, the goods to be stored and the DG grouping. Suitability for use in any application should be determined by appropriate performance testing. For outdoor applications, an appropriate UV stabilization package should be added.
