High Density Polyethylene
Description
HDPE M8960U is a narrow molecular weight distribution high density homopolymer designed to offer excellent stiffness with a good balance of processability and cold temperature impact performance. This resin is ideally suited for articles requiring very high stiffness or enable down-gauging. This material offers excellent performance in structural foam articles
