HDPE-Taisox 7200

Taisox 7200, a premium High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) resin manufactured by Formosa Plastic Corporation, is specifically engineered for demanding blow molding applications. This grade is renowned for its excellent balance of rigidity, impact strength, and superior environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR), making it an ideal choice for manufacturing high-quality bottles, containers, and various hollow articles.

Developed through advanced polymerization techniques, Taisox 7200 ensures consistent performance and efficient processing, enabling manufacturers to produce durable and reliable products that meet stringent industry standards.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Exceptional Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR): Taisox 7200 provides outstanding resistance to stress cracking when exposed to aggressive chemicals, detergents, and other demanding environments, ensuring product integrity and longevity for packaged goods.
• High Rigidity & Stiffness: Offers excellent stiffness, which contributes to the structural integrity and stacking strength of bottles and containers, allowing for potential downgauging while maintaining performance.
• Good Impact Strength: Delivers robust impact resistance, minimizing breakage during handling, transportation, and end-use, even at low temperatures.
• Excellent Melt Strength: Critical for stable parison formation in blow molding, preventing sag and ensuring uniform wall thickness distribution.
• Consistent Processability: Designed for smooth and efficient processing on standard blow molding equipment, leading to high productivity, reduced cycle times, and lower scrap rates.
• Good Chemical Resistance: Inherently resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for packaging various liquids, including household chemicals, automotive fluids, and food products.

Typical Applications:

Taisox 7200 is primarily recommended for blow molding applications requiring a high level of performance and durability:

• Detergent and Bleach Bottles: Due to its superior ESCR.
• Household Chemical Containers: For cleaning agents, disinfectants, etc.
• Milk and Juice Bottles: Ensuring safety and shelf-life.
• Oil and Lubricant Bottles: Resistant to various petroleum-based products.
• Shampoo and Personal Care Bottles.
• Industrial Drums and Jerry Cans: For robust storage and transport.
• Other Blow Molded Containers and Hollow Articles where strength and chemical resistance are crucial.

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 Formosa Plastic Corporation for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

• Melt Flow Index (MFI) (190°C/2.16 kg): 0.3 – 0.5 g/10 min (ASTM D1238)
• Density: 0.952 – 0.954 g/cm³ (ASTM D1505)
• Tensile Strength @ Yield: 24 – 28 MPa (ASTM D638)
• Flexural Modulus: 1000 – 1200 MPa (ASTM D790)
• Hardness, Shore D: 60 – 65 (ASTM D2240)
• VICAT Softening Point (A): ~125 °C (ASTM D1525)
• Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR) (F50, 10% IGEPAL, 50°C): >1000 hours (ASTM D1693, Condition B)

Processing Guidelines (Blow Molding – General):

• Drying: Generally not required for HDPE, but if moisture is present due to improper storage, pre-drying at 80°C for 2-4 hours is recommended.
• Melt Temperature: 170 – 200 °C (optimize based on machine, mold design, and desired parison control).
• Die Temperature: Maintain consistent temperature for uniform parison.
• Mold Temperature: 10 – 40 °C (for efficient cooling and part rigidity).

Packaging & Storage:

Taisox 7200 is typically supplied in 25 kg bags or bulk containers. For optimal product quality and to prevent contamination or moisture absorption, store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep packaging sealed until ready for use.
