Product Description
Indothene-HD HD53MA020 is a low MI High Density Polyethylene grade produced using the process know-how of M/s. BP Chemicals. This grade is specially designed and recommended for manufacture of technical moulding articles such as Caps and closures for various applications. It has a very narrow molecular weight distribution, which makes it very much suitable for Injection Moulding and products manufactured have very good gloss, impact strength and rigidity.

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