LL36RA045 LINEAR LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE
ROTOMOULDING APPLICATION
LL36RA045 is a Butene Comonomer based Linear Medium Density Polyethylene. This grade when blended with appropriate quantity of
carbon black can withstand continuous exposure. LL36RA045 when pulverised into 20-30 mesh powder offers good processability. This
grade has very good Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR) and a combination of hardness and impact strength. This grade
contains normal dose of antioxidant.
