About this product

Overview:

RX 806 NATURAL is based on Sabic R50035EE LLDPE.

When we use Sabic R50035EE to make black, the resulting product is named RX 806 BLACK 9003

RX 806 is reserved just for Natural and Black, everything else is sold as RX 820
Some grades have special approvals e.g. Natural and Black have WRAS potable water approval
Please check the documents to see which grade has what aproval.

Applications / Grade Selection:

As with all rotomoulding applications, segmentation by application type is far too specific since the range of grades is so limited.
We can divide the whole of the roto market into 3 segments:

1. Large Tanks
2. Specialities e.g. Boats and Kayaks, Flare Retardant, Conductives, Foamm etc
3. Everything else

For large tanks, a typical tank grade should be used e.g. Dowlex NG2432UE or XZ89342.00
For everything else, either Dowlex 2629UE or Dowlex 2631UE should be used.
2629 has lower flow so will be tougher, and 2631 will allow more complex shapes to be moulded.

The starting point is also to counter-type what is currently being used.
RX 806 is C4 countertype to either Dowlex 2629.10UE or 2631.10UE
