Product Description
Indothene-HD grade 52GF004 is a blown film grade of High Molecular Weight High Density Polyethylene (HM-HDPE), produced by Hostalen Stirred Tank Heavy Diluent(STHD) Slurry process at Gandhar. It possesses broad molecular weight distribution, which improves processability. 52GF004 can readily be processed on HMHDPE blown film extrusion lines. The films will have homogeneous, finely textured, opaque appearance and exhibit balanced mechanical properties and very good gloss.

FOOD CONTACT APPLICATIONS :
This grade meets the requirements of Indian Standard IS-10146-1982 on "Polyethylene for its safe use in contact with food stuffs, pharmaceuticals and drinking water". It also conforms to the positive list of constituents as approved in IS:10141:1982. The grade complies with FDA regulation: CFR title 21 , 177.1520, Olefin polymer
