Product Description
HPB-0760 is a certified prime Phillips Process designed for BLOW MOLDING of containers for packaging of non-aggressive chemicals. HPB-0760 features low to medium swell, easy processability in conventional continuous extrusion equipment, good ESCR, good Impact strength, high Stiffness, improved Barrier, and low Odor and Taste. HPB-0760 applications include small to medium size thin wall bottle for milk, water and juices, wide mouth containers for body powders, and extrusion of sheet and profiles. HPB-0760 processing temperature is 140 to 165°C., with mold 10 to 30°C. HPB-0760 complies with FDA regulation 21CFR 177.520 (c) 3.1(a) + 3.2(a) and with most international regulations concerning the use of Polyethylene in contact with food articles.
