Product Description
Purell PE GF 4760 is a high density polyethylene with good ESCR, high rigidity and good organoleptic properties. It contains antioxidants and is delivered in pellet form. Target applications are small blow mouldings for foodstuff, consumer goods as well as pharmaceutical packaging. This grade is also well established for injection blow moulding applications.

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.

To discuss a medical/pharmaceutical application please contact: your local Distributor or your local Basell contact.
