DOW™ HDPE 40055L HF

Generic Family: Polyethylene, High Density • Supplied by: The Dow Chemical Company
HDPE 40055L HF is a bimodal High Density Polyethylene resin that combines outstanding environmental stress crack resistance with good stiffness and impact resistance. Its rheological characteristics make it ideal for the production of medium size containers. The viscosity of this resin has been specially tailored for machinery that requires slightly higher fluidity than the one provided by the Dow™ HDPE 40055L.

Applications:
  • Jerrycans and medium size containers for:
    • Aggressive liquids (e.g. detergents, surfactants, etc.)
    • Chemicals
    • Agrochemicals
    • Food products
  • Containers requiring UN approval for the transport of dangerous goods
  • Industrial parts
  • Sheet extrusion

Complies with Regulation:
  • U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 (c) 3.2a
