Dowlex 2344
About this Product
DOWLEX* 2344 Polyethylene Resin is an ethylene-octene copolymer, produced in the proprietary solution process of The Dow Chemical Company. It has a unique molecular structure with a controlled side chain distribution, which provides excellent stress crack resistance properties combined with very good Long Term Hydrostatic Strength.
Processability: Typical extrusion temperatures for processing of DOWLEX 2344 Polyethylene Resin range from 190 to 230� C. The use of a reverse temperature profile may be beneficial on certain types of processing equipment. For further information, see our Extrusion Guideline.
