Product Description
J60-800-178 is a high density polyethylene homopolymer intended for the injection molding of closures for beverages. Because of its high purity and excellent organoleptic properties, this grade is certified as low taste and is intended for packaging in direct contact with beverages. Parts fabricated from this material exhibit a glossy surface finish and have good impact strength and rigidity. This material meets the Food and Drug Administration requirements of 21CFR 177.1520.

Typical Applications
  • Caps and closures for the packaging of still and sparkling water
  • Injection molded applications where low taste and odor are critical.
