RAPREX^® R-100 High Melt Strength HDPE

High Performance Solution for Melt Processing Applications
Derived from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and offering significant performance advantages, RAPREX R-100 was developed specifically for the manufacture of thermoplastic pipes and other extruded products.

Because of its unique long chain branched structure, RAPREX R-100 exhibits superior sag resistance for melt phase thermoforming and blow molding. Its strain-hardening behavior dramatically improves material distribution during processing.

Improved Mechanical Properties vs. Conventional HDPE
A true step forward, RAPREX R-100 offers a variety of performance improvements including:

• Superior hydrostatic pressure resistance
• Excellent stiffness/impact balance
• No chemical crosslinking additives
• Down-gauge ability
• Recyclability
