Product Description
HI-7053 is a certified prime grade designed for INJECTION MOLDING of multi-cavity thin-wall food containers. HI-7053 features BIMODAL-NARROW molecular weight distribution offering excellent processability, good impact strength, good resistance to low temperature, glossy surfaces, good dimensional stability and good warpage resistance. HI-7053 applications include yogurt cups, and frozen food containers. HI-7053 recommended processing temperature is 210 to 230°C.with mold @ 20 to 40°C.. HI-7053 complies with FDR regulation 21CFR 177.1520 (c) 3.1(a) + 3.2(a) and with most international regulations concerning the use of Polyethylene in contact with food articles.
