DOWLEX 2355 Polyethylene Resin is an ethylene-octene copolymer, produced in the proprietary solution process of The Dow Chemical Company. It has a unique molecular structure with a controlled side chain distribution, which provides excellent stress crack resistance properties combined with very good Long Term Hydrostatic Strength.
Processability: Typical extrusion temperatures for processing of DOWLEX 2355 Polyethylene Resin range from 190 to 230° C. The use of a reverse temperature profile may be beneficial on certain types of processing equipment. For further information, see our Extrusion Guideline.
Applications:
Pipes for hot and cold water systems, e.g.:
floor heating
wall heating/cooling
ceiling cooling
radiator connections
warm / cold drinking water distribution
heat recovery systems
solar panels
