Product Description
MD 0592-1 is a natural, high molecular weight MDPE co-polymer, developed as a general purpose resin for use in coloured resins for striping, pipe and wire & cable applications. MD 0592-1 contains antioxidants to protect it during extrusion and end use.

MD 0592-1 has been designed for extrusion into a full range of pipe and wire & cable products where Medium Density resins are required. Suitability for use in any application should be determined by appropriate performance testing.

MD 0592-1 is suitable for food contact applications and conforms to the requirements of the United States Food and Drug Administration CFR 21 177.1520, paragraph (c) item 3.1.
