Product Description
B4020N1333 is a unique high density polyethylene copolymer intended for the injection or compression molding of closures for beverages. Because of its high purity and excellent organoleptic properties, this grade is certified as low taste and is intended for packaging in direct contact with beverages. It has a broad molecular weight distribution for faster molding cycles and enhanced stress crack resistance. This resin contains a lubrication package for improved release from the mold and lower application torques on the bottle. This material meets the Food and Drug Administration requirements of 21CFR 177.1520.

Typical Applications
  • Caps and closures for the packaging of carbonated and other beverages
  • Injection and compression molded applications where low taste and odor are critical.
