Medium-Density Polyethylene
MDPE resin granules — The balanced performer - toughness where it counts.
Medium-Density Polyethylene sits between LDPE and HDPE, blending the flexibility you want with the stiffness you need. It offers good stress-crack and shock resistance, making it a reliable choice for demanding applications like gas and water pipe, fittings and rotational-moulded tanks.
For manufacturers who need a dependable middle ground, MDPE delivers consistent performance. JODE supplies MDPE to pipe and tank producers across Tanzania and East Africa.
