Product type
Metallocene Polyethylene (mPE) is a type of polyethylene that is produced using metallocene catalysts, which allow for more precise control over the polymer's structure and properties. This results in a material that often exhibits enhanced performance characteristics compared to traditional polyethylene. Metallocene polyethylene is known for its excellent clarity, toughness, and flexibility, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
| Density | 0.87 to 0.96 g/cm³ |
| Melt Flow Index | 0.5 to 20 g/10 min |
| Tensile Strength | 10 to 30 MPa |
| Elongation at Break | 300% to 800% |
| Processing Temperature | 180 to 220 °C |
When selecting metallocene polyethylene, buyers should consider the specific application requirements such as the desired density, melt flow index, and mechanical properties. It is also important to specify any necessary certifications or grades that may be required for compliance in certain industries. Quantities should be discussed based on project needs and production capabilities.
