Coatings with High-Density-Polyethylene provide excellent washing resistance. Therefore it is preferably applied in apparel segments that are frequently washed, ie. collar- or shirt cuffs.
The HDPE series ROWALIT® N covers usually a melting range of 125-135°C and provides better chemical resistance than LDPE.
Further application examples are:
- Carpet industrie (carpet backing)
- Automotive (floor units, trunk trim, headliner)
- Medical items (hot wash)
