DOWLEX 2388 Polyethylene Resin is an ethylene/octene-1 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 outstanding Long Term Hydrostatic Strength.

Applications:
Pipes for hot and cold water systems, e.g.:
  • Hot / cold drinking water distribution
  • Radiator connections
  • Heating / cooling applications
  • Mono- and multi-layer pipe
  • Industrial applications.

Main Characteristics:
  • Suitable for elevated temperatures without crosslinking
  • Outstanding taste and odor performance
  • Excellent processability.

Processing Recommendations:
DOWLEX 2388 Polyethylene Resin is easy to process on traditional PE processing equipment. Typical extrusion temperatures for processing range from 190 to 230 °C. For further information see our Extrusion Guideline.

Complies with:
  • EU, No 10/2011
  • U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520
