High Density LLDPE

Development of High Stiffness grade PROPEL 042R35A High stiffness PROPEL 042R35A is a modified grade specially designed for application segment like underground septic tanks, grease traps, inspection manhole/ chambers etc. High stiffness PROPEL 042R35A is having 28% higher flexural modulus in comparison to conventional rotomoulding grade. The density of this modified grade is high compare to conventional roto grades which results in better rigidity and mechanical properties of the said applications. Modified PROPEL 042R35A improves the product performance and service life.

Indian Oil has recently introduced high stiffness, high performance rotomoulding grade 042R35A in the market.

Key attributes

• Upto 0.942gm/cc Higher density

• Around 28 % higher than the conventional roto grades
