Product Description
RAPREX® R-200 is a high density polyethylene based resin that exhibits an excellent balance of melt processability and physical properties due to its unique branched structure. It is a thermoplastic and is recyclable. Due to its high molecular weight and shear sensitivity, RAPREX® R-200 is used for injection molding. Because of its high melt strength, it is also used for films, extrusion coating and foam applications. Raprex® R-200 contains a robust stabilization package providing excellent melt stability as well as long-term heat aging.
