Polyolefin

Durable polymer technology combining toughness, flexibility and low moisture absorption with effective resistance to water, chemicals and environmental exposure.

Polyolefin-based technologies utilise polymers characterised by low moisture absorption, chemical resistance and a useful combination of toughness and flexibility. These properties allow polyolefin materials and protective systems to maintain effective barrier performance when exposed to water, chemicals and a variety of environmental conditions.

Within industrial applications, polyolefin technology can be used where resistance to moisture penetration, physical wear and chemical exposure is important to long-term performance. The technology is particularly suited to specialised protective applications requiring durable barrier properties together with flexibility and resistance to environmental degradation. Actual performance characteristics depend on the particular polyolefin formulation and the requirements of the intended service environment.
