Description
HDPE S5020 is a high-density polyethylene with a broad molecular weight distribution, specially developed for small blow-molded bottles. Produced with 1-hexene as a co-monomer, it offers high stiffness, easy flow, good ESCR, chemical resistance, and sufficient impact strength. HDPE S5020 is recommended for multipurpose blow molding processes and has been manufactured under the Basell license.
