This medium density polyethylene resin is an ethylene-hexene copolymer tailored for rotational molding applications that require:
• Wide process window
• Excellent impact strength
• Good flow
• Excellent ESCR
• Durability
This resin is available in two physical forms:
• Pellet form - HMN TR-938
• 35 US mesh powder - HMN TR-938G
Typical applications for HMN TR-938 and HMN TR-938G include:
• Industrial waste containers and tanks
• Marine equipment
• Industrial tanks
This resin meets these specifications:
• ASTM D4976 - PE 223
• FDA 21 CFR 177.1520(c) 3.2a, - Use conditions B through H per 21 CFR 176.170(c) Table 2 for single use articles contacting food types I, II, IV-B, VI-A, VI-B, VII-B, and VIII. Repeated use articles contacting all food types defined in 21 CFR 176.170(c) Table 1. When contacting fatty foods of Types III, IV-A, V, VII-A, and IX described in Table 1, the finished articles are to have a volume of at least 18.9 liters (5 gallons).
