Typical Properties (Representative Values)
Please note that specific values may vary slightly depending on the exact production batch and testing conditions. Always refer to the official Technical Data Sheet (TDS) from Borouge for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Processing Guidelines (General Injection Molding)
- Drying: Generally not required for polyethylene, but proper storage to prevent moisture absorption is recommended.
- Melt Temperature: 180 – 220 °C (optimize based on machine type, mold design, and part thickness).
- Mold Temperature: 10 – 40 °C (lower mold temperatures are typical for LLDPE).
- Injection Speed: Medium, to ensure good mold filling.
- Holding Pressure: Optimized to prevent sink marks and ensure dimensional accuracy.
Packaging & Storage
Borouge RE420MO is typically supplied in 25 kg bags or bulk containers. For optimal product quality, store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep packaging sealed until ready for use.
