Braskem America HDB0358

Braskem HDB0358 is a bimodal high density polyethylene copolymer grade. Offers an outstanding balance between stiffness, impact strength, and Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance (ESCR) ideal for a wide range of blow molding applications. This grade is particularly well suited to chemical and detergent packaging as the exceptional ESCR can allow for significant bottle weight reduction.
