High-Density Polyethylene Resin HDPE 5502 from Canada
HDPE 5502 is a high molecular weight high-density polyethylene resin with relative viscosity of 1.44 or more and specific gravity over 0.94, supplied in pellet form for primary processing. It meets HTS 3901.20.10.00 criteria due to its ethylene polymer composition where ethylene monomers constitute 95%+ by weight and specified physical properties. Used primarily for blow molding applications like containers and bottles.

Import Tips
• Verify relative viscosity certification from manufacturer as it determines subheading 3901.20.10 vs 3901.20.20,Require melt flow index and density test reports to confirm specific gravity ≥0.94 for proper classification,Ensure pellets are free of contamination; impure resins may shift to 3901.90 other polymers
