Product Description
HPB-0354 is a certified prime grade Phillips Process BLOW MOLDING copolymer designed to meet end-use requirements of containers for packaging of Household Industrial Chemicals (HIC). HPB-0354 features medium swell, easy and consistent processability in conventional continuous or intermittent extrusion equipment, and excellent balance of bottle ESCR, Impact strength and Stiffness. Applications include medium size containers for detergents, bleach, antifreeze, motor oil and ice chests. HPB-0354 recommended processing temperature is 160 to 180°C., with mold at 10 to 30°C. HPB-0354 complies with FDA regulation 21CFR 177.1520 (c) 3.1 (a) + 3.2 (a) and with most international regulations concerning the use of Polyethylene in contact with food articles.
