Product Description
Multi-modal HDPE resin used for beverage closure and collapsible tube applications, Purell ACP 6541A exhibits an outstanding combination of environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR) and high fluidity behaviour.
Used for organoleptic applications.

Purell ACP 6541 A is additionally a medical grade designed for injection moulding applications in the medical and pharmaceutical market after approval is given by Basell.

Without exception, all potential activities for applications in the pharmaceutical, medical device, laboratory and diagnostics area have to be discussed with the relevant Technical (P & AD) and Business contacts first.
