Borealis Borecene™ RM8342 Linear Polyethylene for Rotational Molding (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Medium Density (MDPE); Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), Rotational Molded
Material Notes:	Borecene RM8342 is a third generation linear medium density natural polyethylene for rotational molding. The narrow molecular weight distribution imparted through metallocene catalyst technology provides an ideal balance of flow and physical properties. Borecene RM8342 is delivered as pellets. Borecene RM8342 is suitable for versatile and high demanding rotational molding of products such as chemical containers (for UN Approval), complex custom parts, and marine applications.
