Safrene® M 6650

Chemical Family: PolyethylenesPolyolefins

Safrene® M 6650 High Density Polyethylene Resin is a bimodal high molecular weight grade specifically designed for extrusion blow molding of containers greater than 20 liters in volume. It has a high melt viscosity and is primarily recommended for use on modern generation equipment. Safrene® M 6650 High Density Polyethylene Resin exhibits outstanding impact strength, high rigidity and excellent environmental stress-crack resistance. It is particularly suitable for drum applications between 50 and 250 liter and satisfies the requirements of SABS 1176 for the transportation of dangerous goods.
