Product Description
PAXOTHENE NA248A is a low density polyethylene resin of high melt index, excellent melt flowability, good flexibility and anti-cracking, which is suitable for injection molding of artificial flower foliage and intricate articles and soft bottles and can lids. The resin‘s excellent melt flow and anti-cracking make it fast and economical in production. PAXOTHENE NA248A could be easily pigmented to any color by either dry blending or extrusion homogeneration of pigment into the resin. PAXOTHENE NA248A melts the requirement of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulation. It can be safely used for food application.
