Product Description
CONTINUUM™ DMDA -1250 NT 7 Bimodal High Density Polyethylene Resin (HDPE) is produced via Unipol II™ Process Technology from Dow and is intended for use in compression and injection molding applications such as closures. This resin has been designed to provide excellent processability for molders and to meet the rigorous performance characteristics of environmental stress crack resistance, stiffness and impact strength.

Main Characteristics:
  • High Performance Resin
  • Designed with a balance between high ESCR, Stiffness and processing
  • Excellent organoleptic properties
  • Complies with
    • U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 (c) 3.2 a
    • Canadian HPFB No Objection (with limitations)
    • Consult the regulations for complete details.
