MDPE made via Spherilene
MD-3510 is a medium density polyethylene resin (MDPE), 1-butene copolymer, obtained by gas phase technology process. This grade designed for the production of drip irrigation tapes, pipes andmono or coex film applications. In this grade excellentextrusion properties combined with good mechanical properties. MD-3510 can be blended with different PE grades to modify the final properties of the products.
