Product Description
QUATTOR® HF-48100 is a high molecular weight, high-density polyethylene, hexene copolymer, produced through Unipol® process and recommended for blown film extrusion and blow molding of bottles and drums for agricultural products.
Films produced using QUATTOR® HF-48100 have excellent processability, high bubble stability, and a remarkable sealability.
Bottles and drums obtained using QUATTOR® HF-48100 exhibit an improved impact resistance and stress cracking resistance (ESCR).

Applications: grocery and merchandise bags, trash and can liners, bottles and drums for agricultural products.
