Product Overview
Microthene MN 722-00 is a 50 mesh (292 micron) ground low density polyethylene powder that is mostly used as an additive in a broad range of specialty applications. Microthene G powders offer the properties of polyolefin resins but in a ground particle size making it suitable for dispersion in aqueous systems.
