RELENE (POLYETHYLENE)

RELENE - M 60200 (INJECTION MOULDING GRADE)

Product Description and Applications

Relene M 60200 is a High Density Polyethylene grade designed for Injection Moulding applications. Relene M 60200 is suitable for moulding of housewares and commodities. Due to narrow molecular weight distribution of resin, articles exhibit excellent gloss. The resin also imparts good rigidity , stiffness, impact resistance coupled with good melt flow properties required for mould filling of large articles.
