Product Description
CONTINUUM™ DMDA-6620 NT 7 Bimodal High Density Polyethylene Resin is produced by UNIPOL™ II process technology. This resin is a high stiffness resin with superior top-load performance in conjunction with excellent environmental stress crack resistance. CONTINUUM DMDA-6620 NT 7 is specifically designed for use in extrusion blow molding equipment, producing containers up to 20 gallons in size, which require superior top-load combined with excellent environmental stress crack resistance. This product is especially well suited for containers used to package household industrial chemicals (e.g. detergents, and fabric softeners), toiletries and cosmetics (e.g. shampoos, creams, lotions, etc.), health and food products.

  • High stiffness for superior top-load performance
  • Excellent environmental stress crack resistance
  • High impact strength
  • Good extrusion characteristics

Complies with:
  • U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 (c) 3.1a
  • Canadian HPFB (No Objection)
  • EU, No 10/2011
Consult the regulations for complete details.
