Marlex® HMN 6060UV High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Multicolored Crates

Marlex® HMN 6060UV high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a UV‑stabilized, high‑modulus injection molding grade engineered for rigid applications requiring exceptional stiffness, long‑term durability and resistance to outdoor exposure. It delivers a strong balance of stiffness, toughness and environmental resistance, making it well suited for crates, tote boxes and structural foam parts used in demanding indoor and outdoor material handling environments.

Designed for structural and thick‑section molded parts, Marlex® HMN 6060UV PE supports consistent part geometry, dimensional stability and extended service life when exposed to sunlight, weathering and repeated loading. Its UV stabilization helps manufacturers maintain mechanical performance and appearance in applications subjected to prolonged outdoor use.

Produced using CPChem’s proprietary MarTECH® loop slurry process and advanced catalyst technologies, Marlex® HDPE resins provide uniform molecular structure, efficient processing and dependable performance across injection molding and structural foam platforms.
