Eltex® B4020N1332

Eltex® B4020N1332 is a high-density polyethylene copolymer particularly intended for the injection moulding and compression moulding of screw caps for the packaging beverages. It is especially suitable for applications requiring high environmental stress cracking resistance. Thanks to high purity and excellent organoleptic properties, this grade is particularly intended for the packaging in direct contact with beverages.
Typical applications

• Caps & closures for the packaging of carbonated soft drinks

Benefits and Features

• Very good stress cracking resistance

• Excellent processing performances

• High impact strength

• Excellent, quality controlled organoleptic properties. In order to preserve the excellent organoleptic properties, it is important not to exceed a melt temperature of 250°C during processing.

• Grade containing slip agent ensuring easy application and opening

Exposure to direct sunlight has to be avoided as the slip agent is light sensitive and its degradation can give off-taste to the beverage.
