XyloX™ HDPE
High-density polyethylene-based thermoplastic elastomer with recycled rubber crumb. Superior impact strength and rigidity for demanding applications.
Why Choose XyloX HDPE
Engineered for high-performance applications.
Superior Rigidity
HDPE base provides higher stiffness than PP, ideal for structural components requiring dimensional stability.
Impact Resistance
Rubber content enhances impact resistance while maintaining HDPE rigidity. No break in Izod testing.
Low Temperature Performance
Service temperature down to -50°C. Excellent for outdoor and cold storage applications.
Stress Crack Resistance
Excellent ESCR rating prevents environmental stress cracking in demanding chemical environments.
Moisture Barrier
Very low water absorption (<0.05%) makes it ideal for moisture-sensitive applications.
Weld Strength
Excellent weld line strength for complex parts requiring multiple gates or inserts.
