Product Description
Sabic M500026 belongs to a high flow linear low density polyethylene copolymer injection moulding grade with a narrow molecular weight distribution. LLDPE M500026 has been designed to have excellent low temperature toughness, stress crack resistance (ESCR), mouldability and gloss.
Typical Applications
Sabic LLDPE M500026 is recommended for injection moulding of containers and reclosure lids. It is well suited for fast cycle, deep draw injection moulding applications, which takes advantage of its high flow properties. Also, the higher melting point of the Sabic M500026 material allows for high end-use temperature when compared with conventional polyehtylenes of equal density.
Processing Conditions
Typical moulding conditions for LLDPE M500026 are:
Material temperature: 180 – 230 °C (355 – 446 °F)
Mould temperature: 5 – 30 °C (40 – 85 °F)
