Lihat Profil SellerExtra-High Molecular Weight Hexene Copolymer for Demanding Blow Molding & Thermoforming Applications
Marlex® HXM 50100S is an extra-high molecular weight polyethylene (EHMW PE) hexene copolymer engineered for superior mechanical performance in large blow-molded and thermoformed parts. It delivers exceptional rigidity, outstanding low-temperature impact resistance, high melt strength, and excellent environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR). Ideal for heavy-duty applications such as fuel tanks, agricultural containers, industrial pallets, truck bedliners, and playground equipment, this resin combines toughness with regulatory compliance — including FDA food-contact suitability under specific conditions and inclusion in the EU Drug Master File. Non-hazardous under major global transport regulations and stable under normal handling conditions, Marlex® HXM 50100S offers manufacturers a reliable, high-performance material that meets both engineering and safety requirements.
