(Plastemart) -- Dow has introduced an experimental polyethylene resin for rotational molding that offers
significant performance advantages over incumbent materials when used in the
production of large storage tanks.
Laboratory and large scale production evaluations of the resin have
demonstrated that, compared to reference materials, the new resin offers
improved sintering (densification), hereby allowing shorter oven times, a
homogeneous and fine molding microstructure.
For rotational molders needing to produce storage tanks the performance
attributes of this Experimental Polyethylene Resin translate to reduced energy
costs, reduced cycle times and finished products with higher impact strength due
to a broader processing window.
This developmental resin has the potential to open up new marketing
opportunities and reduce operational cost savings for rotational molders focused
on large storage tanks,” said Karin Katzer,
Dow’s market manager.
