Description
LITEN VB 33 is a linear polyethylene homopolymer with medium molecular weight distribution and basic stabilisation. It is suitable for extrusion of sheets and profiles (also for subsequent thermoforming) and for blow moulding of hollow articles up to 5 litres requiring good rigidity, such as bottles and containers for non-surfactant liquids. The grade can be used for the production of toys.
Recommended applications
- Sheet and profile extrusion
- Sheet for thermoforming
- Blow-moulded hollow articles up to 5 l
- Bottles and containers for non-surfactant liquids
- Toys
