DOW™ KT 10000 UE HDPE is a high-density polyethylene resin developed for injection molding. It offers a combination of high stiffness, impact resistance, dimensional stability, and UV stabilization, making it suitable for durable plastic products used in industrial and reusable applications.

Its relatively narrow molecular weight distribution supports consistent molding performance and helps minimize warpage. The grade is suitable for producing industrial parts bins, agricultural and beverage crates, pails, buckets, and other rigid molded products.

Main Applications of HDPE KT 10000 UE

  • Industrial Parts Bins. KT 10000 UE can be used for industrial storage and parts bins where structural rigidity and impact resistance are important. Its mechanical balance supports repeated handling and everyday use.
  • Agricultural Crates. For agricultural crates, the material provides the stiffness needed for stacking while maintaining good resistance to impact during transportation and handling.
  • Beverage Crates. HDPE KT 10000 UE is suitable for beverage crates that require a combination of strength, toughness, and dimensional stability. Its molding characteristics also support the production of durable reusable containers.
  • Pails and Buckets. The resin is suitable for pails and buckets used in a variety of industrial and general-purpose applications. Its stiffness helps maintain container shape, while its impact properties support routine handling.

Processing Considerations

  1. HDPE KT 10000 UE is intended for injection molding. Processing conditions should be adjusted according to part geometry, wall thickness, mold design, equipment, and production requirements.
  2. Melt temperature, injection speed, holding pressure, cooling time, and other parameters can affect shrinkage, warpage, surface quality, and dimensional accuracy. Manufacturers should therefore establish the appropriate processing window through trial molding before full-scale production.
  3. Proper storage and handling should follow the supplier’s technical documentation and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). For applications involving specific regulatory requirements, users should also verify the compliance status of the relevant grade and finished product.
