SABIC® LLDPE R50035E is a LLDPE copolymer that is designed to provide excellent stress crack resistance,excellent mechanical properties with high rigidity, toughness, gloss and very low warpage. The resin contains UV stabilizer. It is recommended that SABIC® LLDPE R50035E is grinded before use in rotational moulding applications.
SABIC® LLDPE R50035E is desinged for rotational moulding of large industrial and agricultural tanks, trash containers and chemical shipping drums. Its excellent mechanical properties and low warpage makes it suitable for injection moulding applications such as screw closures, caps and housewares. SABIC® LLDPE R50035E is UV stabilised; that provides excellent protection for the final product.
Oven temperature °C (°F) = 315 (600)
Typical processing temperature for injection moulding machines: 210 - 240 °C.
Test specimens are prepared from compression moulded sheet made according to ASTM D-1928, procedure C.
