Borecene RM8343RC Borealis Polyethylene, Linear Medium Density

Product Description

Borecene RM8343RC is a third generation linear medium density natural polyethylene for rotational molding. Borecene RM8343RC is a special grade, which has passed rigorous tests and can be considered as a possible replacement for crosslinkable polyethylene in many applications. The narrow molecular weight distribution imparted through metallocene catalyst technology provides an ideal balance of flow and physical roperties. Borecene RM8343RC is delivered as powder.

Borecene RM8343RC can be considered as a possible replacement for crosslinkable products in rotational molding such as:
