Eltex® B4020N1343

Eltex® B4020N1343 is a high density polyethylene copolymer particularly intended for the injection molding and compression molding of screw caps for the packagin of beverages. It is especially suitable for applications requiring high environmental stress cracking resistance. Thanks to hgih purity and excellent organoleptic properties, this grade is particularly intended for the packaging in direct contract with beverages.

Typical applications:

• caps & closures for the packaging of sparkling water and 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.
