Product Description
HDPE GE 4960 BR is a homopolymer high-density polyethylene, developed for the blow molding segment for the manufacture of bottles for milk and dairy products.
This resin has white additive that hinders the light passage that speeds up the process of photodegradation that can occurs in foods. This resin has excellent resistance to piling and dropping.
