Polymer Sourcing & Distribution
AGE is a leading HDPE resin supplier and importer in Pakistan, coordinating grade-specific sourcing of virgin HDPE resin for film, blow moulding, injection moulding and certified pipe-compound applications against the producer datasheet, approved sample, packing and shipment availability.
Commercial grade families
Density and flow are only the starting point. The final grade must match molecular structure, additives, processing equipment, mechanical performance and any regulatory or pipe-system approval.
Selected for melt strength, drawdown, toughness and tear or puncture performance in shoppers, T-shirt bags, refuse liners, co-extruded packaging and agricultural sheet applications.
Matched to parison stability, stiffness, impact and method-specific ESCR for household bottles, personal-care packs, jerrycans, lubricant containers, drums and other hollow articles.
Grades selected for flow, rigidity, impact balance, warpage and cycle time in crates, pallets, bins, pails, toys, closures and household or industrial mouldings.
Pre-compounded or approved pipe materials selected for long-term hydrostatic strength, slow-crack resistance and the applicable water, gas, sewerage or duct standard. Generic HDPE is not a substitute for a certified pressure-pipe grade.
Producer sourcing: recognized producer portfolios—including SABIC, Borouge, ExxonMobil, LOTTE Chemical, Chevron Phillips Chemical and other approved sources—may be evaluated through available supply channels. A producer relationship, allocation or agency is confirmed only through the actual offer and seller authorization.
Indicative screening comparison
The bands below support preliminary screening only. They are not universal specifications. The selected producer's current technical datasheet, test methods and certificate of analysis control the commercial contract.
| Segment | MFR | HLMI | Density⁴ | Tensile yield⁵ | Flexural modulus⁵ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Film extrusion | 0.05–0.15¹ | 8–16² | 0.948–0.957 | 24–29 | 1,000–1,200 |
| Blow moulding | 0.15–0.70¹ | Grade dependent | 0.950–0.958 | 26–30 | 1,1001,350 |
| Injection moulding | 4–20¹ | Not normally controlling | 0.950–0.965 | 28–32 | 1,200–1,450 |
| Pipe PE80 / PE100 | 0.20–0.40³ | 4.5–7² | 0.948–0.960 | 22–26 | 900–1,100 |
¹ g/10 min at 190°C/2.16 kg · ² g/10 min at 190°C/21.6 kg · ³ g/10 min at 190°C/5 kg, commonly used for pipe-grade screening · ⁴ g/cm³ · ⁵ MPa. Exact method, specimen preparation and conditioning must follow the selected producer datasheet.
Sourcing & logistics
Pakistan's converting sector uses substantial imported polymer feedstock. Current market size and import share should be confirmed from current official trade data instead of being presented as a fixed 100% dependency figure.
Final payload depends on palletization, bag dimensions, container type and carrier limits.
CFR or CIF Karachi / Port Qasim, suitable FOB-origin offers and other buyer destinations can be evaluated. Payment may be structured through an irrevocable L/C at sight or mutually approved T/T terms under the signed contract.

Share the producer or grade preference, process, MFR or HLMI test condition, density, application, monthly quantity, packing and destination. AGE will review technical fit, seller authority, stock, documentation and shipment terms before issuing an offer.
Classification note: Pakistan's FY 2025–26 tariff lists polyethylene having a specific gravity of 0.94 or more under PCT 3901.2000, shown with 0% customs duty in that tariff. Other taxes, regulatory duties, anti-dumping measures, exemptions or SRO conditions may still apply. Final classification and landed-tax treatment must be confirmed by the appointed customs agent before filing.
Pipe-grade note: PE80 or PE100 designation does not by itself approve a material for every pressure-pipe system. Water applications should be checked against the applicable ISO 4427 requirements and gas applications against the applicable ISO 4437 requirements, together with local authority and project specifications.
