SHE150 resin is a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) specifically designed for the monofilament extrusion process. It offers a well-balanced combination of processability, spinnability, and knotting strength, while maintaining minimal gels. Additionally, it contains processing aid and oxidant additives. This grade has a minimum biobased carbon content of 94%, as determined by ASTM D6866. The resin can also be blended with LLDPE to enhance the stiffness of blown films.
