Description
LITEN BB 85 is a copolymer with broad molecular weight distribution. It exhibits good processability and a very good balance of toughness, environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) and impact strength. Its typical application is the manufacture of containers up to 120 litres; it can also be used for extrusion of films and sheets and for pharmaceutical packaging.
Recommended applications
- Blow-moulded containers up to 120 l
- Film and sheet extrusion
- Pharmaceutical packaging
