Marlex® C513UV High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Large plastic drums

Marlex® C513UV high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is an extra high molecular weight, ethylene-hexene copolymer engineered for intermediate bulk container applications requiring outstanding impact resistance, exceptional ESCR and long-term durability.

With built-in UV stabilization and excellent processability, Marlex® C513UV is well suited for outdoor and large-volume blow molded containers exposed to harsh environmental conditions.

Produced using CPChem’s proprietary MarTECH® loop slurry process and advanced catalyst technologies, Marlex® HDPE resins deliver uniform molecular structure, predictable processing behavior and dependable performance across blow molding platforms.
