Product Description
  • Outstanding environmental stress crack resistance
  • High impact strength
  • Good extrusion characteristics
  • Formulated with a non-food grade antistatic agent

Complies with:
  • U.S. FDA 21 CFR 175.105
Consult the regulations for complete details.

UNIVAL™ DMDF-6230 NT High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Resin is specifically designed for use in either intermittent or continuous blow molding equipment to produce containers up to 20 gallons in size -applications that require the combination of outstanding environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) and, high impact strength. UNIVAL DMDF- 6230 NT HDPE resin is also considered a multipurpose blow molding resin designed for the high speed production of blow molded containers used for packaging household industrial chemicals (e.g., detergents, bleach, fabric softeners), toiletries and cosmetics (e.g., shampoos, creams, lotions, etc.), health and medicinal aids. In addition, it can be blow molded into other thin walled parts and houseware items, and also can be extruded into profiles or sheets.
