 ROTOLENE

1. Product Description.

Medium Density Polyethylene specially designed for applications requiring convenient

processability and aesthetics combined with low warpage and good mechanical properties. This
material is fully heat and UV8 stabilized resulting in a wide processing latitude, good color
retention and long-life expectancy.

Available: Natural 35 mesh powder.

2. Applications: For Rotational molding of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), toys, general
purpose custom molding, water tanks, marine parts, indoor consumer articles.

Natural resin, which is used as a base in color compounds complies with:

• U.S. FDA* as specified in 21 CFR 177.1520 (c)3.1a

• European Commission Regulation* (EU) No 10/2011
