What Are The Main Characteristics of HDPE TR 144

  • Moderate Density. With a density of 0.946 g/cm³, the resin provides a balanced combination of rigidity, strength, and toughness, ensuring good structural stability and suitability for a wide range of film applications.
  • Suitable Melt Flow Rate. HDPE Lotrene TR 144 exhibits a melt index of 0.18 g/10 min (190°C/2.16 kg) and an HLMI of 15 g/10 min (190°C/21.6 kg), enabling efficient flow and processability in film manufacturing processes such as blown film extrusion.
  • Excellent Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance (ESCR). Under Condition B (100% Igepal), the F50 value exceeds 1000 hours, demonstrating outstanding resistance to environmental stress cracking and contributing to extended film service life.
  • High Flexural Modulus. A flexural modulus of 1150 MPa provides good stiffness, helping films maintain shape stability and resist deformation in demanding applications.
  • Excellent Low-Temperature Performance. With a brittle temperature below -75°C, Lotrene Q TR 144 maintains toughness at low temperatures, reducing the risk of brittle failure in applications such as frozen food packaging.
  • Food Contact Compliance. Compliant with EU Directive 10/2011 and US FDA 21 CFR 177.1520(c)3.2a, making it suitable for food packaging applications.
  • Good Chemical Stability. This resin offers excellent resistance to a wide range of household and industrial chemicals. It is insoluble in organic solvents at room temperature and resistant to acids, alkalis, and salts. In addition, it provides low permeability to water vapor and gases, as well as low water absorption, helping to protect packaged contents from moisture and contamination.
