Indothene HDPE
|
|
Indothene - HD is the brand name
of high Density Polythylene (HDPE)
manufactured and marketed by India
Petrochemicals Corporation Limited
(IPCl).
Indothene - HD grades are manufactured
adopting Gas Phase Fluidised Bed Process
of B.P. Chemicals, U.K. at IPCL's
Nagothane complex at Maharashtra and
by adopting Slurry process of ELENAC,
Germany (formerly Hostalen PE GmbH)
at IPCL's Gandher Complex at Gujarat.
Indothene - HD is produced with Butene
as comonomer. The incorporation
of comonmer increases the impact strength
and environmental stress crack resistance
of the Polymer.
Indothene - HD is the brand name of
High density Polyethylene (HDPE) manufacturer
and marketed by IPCL adopting Gas
phase Fluidised bed process of BP
Chemicals, UK at its Nagothane complex
and with Slurry process of ELENAC
(formerly Hostalen PE GmbH),Germany
