Our new Advanced Chromium Catalyst grades, produced using gas-phase chromium catalyst technology, are now available. This resin is designed to support structural integrity and durability in conduit, IBC, and portable fluid container applications. It’s formulated for longterm ESCR and impact strength, while supporting efficient processing. This is thanks to the resin’s broad molecular weight distribution and shear‑thinning behavior.
Our Advanced Chromium Catalyst grades include:
Conduit grade 48P9HL
Designed for power and communications infrastructure.
IBC grade 46BG6HLU
Best for intermediate bulk containers and agricultural containers.
Portable fluid containers/jerry can grade 48BG9HL
For shipping and storage application such as portable fluid containers,
fuel containers, and chemical tanks.
The product is designed to comply with ASTM, CSA, UL, and NEMA standards for conduit applications.
