SABIC® LLDPE R40039EE is a medium density polyethylene (MDPE) copolymer. It is used for its good stress crack resistance, rigidity, gloss and low warpage. The resin contains UV-stabilizer. It is recommended that SABIC® LLDPE R40039E is grinded before use in rotational moulding applications.
Typical applications.
Because of the good processing performance and physical properties, SABIC® LLDPE R40039EE is used for the rotational moulding of large industrial and agricultural tanks, trash containers and chemical shipping drums. Due to the good mechanical properties and low warpage this product is typically used
for injection moulding of screw closures, caps and housewares. The UV-stabilization provides good protection for the final product.
Processing conditions.
Moulding cycles vary with mould composition and mould wall thickness, oven temperature and wall thickness of the part being produced. Venting of the mould is recommended. Normal cooling is satisfactory for SABIC®LLDPE R40039EE. Oven temperature °F (°C) = 600 (315). Typical processing temperature for injection moulding machines: 210 - 240 °C.
Mechanical properties.
Test specimens are prepared from compression moulded sheet made according to ASTM D-1928, procedure C.
