Product Description
SABIC® HDPE B4660 is a high density polyethylene blow moulding grade for high rigidity, excellent toughness and good processability. These properties offer bottles to be made at lower weight with very good top load strength.

SABIC® HDPE B4660 is primarily intended for blow moulding bottles for packaging organoleptically sensitive products, e.g. milk, fruit juice and other dairy products. This grade can also be used in other hollow thinwalled parts and profile extrusions. It is not recommended for packaging environmentally active materials such as soaps, detergents, shampoos, etc.

The product mentioned herein is in particular not tested and therefore not validated for use in pharmaceutical/
medical applications.
