HDPE HBM5510 is a type of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) specifically designed for large parts blow molding. Here’s a breakdown of its key characteristics:
- Material: HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
- Application: Blow molding for large, hollow parts
- Key Features:
- High molecular weight and broad distribution: This combination offers excellent strength, stiffness, and good processability during blow molding. The long, tangled plastic molecules with a variety of sizes contribute to these properties.
- 1-Hexene co-monomer: This additive improves the material’s melt strength and helps it flow evenly during molding, resulting in high-quality products with good parison melt strength. Parison melt strength refers to the ability of the molten plastic tube to resist sagging and stretching during blow molding.
- High stiffness: HBM5510 offers a high degree of rigidity, making it suitable for large blow molded parts that need to maintain their shape.
- Good environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR): This means the material resists cracking and breaking under stress when exposed to environmental factors, ensuring the durability of the blow molded products.
Applications of HDPE HBM5510:
- Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs): These are large, rigid containers used for transporting and storing hazardous or non-hazardous materials. HBM5510’s strength and ESCR make it well-suited for this application.
- Large Blow Molded Parts: Due to its good processability and stiffness, HBM5510 can be used to create various big, hollow plastic components with complex shapes, such as large tanks, toys, or furniture components.
- Jerry Cans: While not as common, HBM5510 can also be used for some types of jerry cans, particularly those requiring good strength.
Additional benefits of HDPE HBM5510:
- Good processability: The 1-hexene co-monomer makes HBM5510 easier to work with during blow molding, allowing for efficient production.
