Description
TIPELIN 6000B is a high-density bimodal polyethylene copolymer (with butene-1 as comonomer) intended for blow moulding of products with high stiffness and very good environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR). The grade contains antioxidant and acid scavenger.
Recommended applications
- Thin-walled small bottles up to 5 l for consumer goods (cosmetics, daily care…)
- Blow-moulded packaging for aggressive industrial chemicals with UN certification
- Corrugated pipes
- Pharmaceutical packaging
- Toys
- Food contact applications
