Product Description
K54-05 is a high molecular weight, high density polyethylene copolymer developed for large-part blow molding (drum market) where the finished product demands outstanding physical performance. This material combines excellent processability and environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) with superior impact and other well-balanced end use properties. This resin meets the Food and Drug Administration requirements of 21CFR 177.1520 for contact with food and is Kosher certified.
