Product Description
Borecene RM8343PL is plasma treated linear medium density natural polyethylene for rotational moulding with improved adhesion properties. The material is plasma treated to change the chemical structure of the powder's surface to become polar and hydrophilic. Borecene RM8343PL is delivered as powder.

Borecene RM8343PL is designed for applications requiring painting, coating or adhesion textures such as:
  • Automotive articles
  • Articles with high demand on surface finish
  • PU foamed articles

The additive package is specifically formulated for rotational moulding; the polymer is fully UV stabilised and contains long term antioxidant.
