Applications ALATHON H 4837 is a high-flow “freezer” grade resin that exhibits enhanced cold temperature impact performance, enhanced processability and thermal stability, with good color and organoleptic properties. Typical applications are rigid food containers such as 4, 5, and 6-quart ice cream containers, which are produced at high speeds in fast cycling multi-cavity stack molds.
Regulatory Status H 4837 meets the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration regulation 21 CFR 177.1520. This regulation allows the use of this olefin polymer in "...articles or components of articles intended for use in contact with food." Specific limitations or conditions of use may apply.
Processing Techniques Specific recommendations for processing H 4837 can only be made when the processing conditions, equipment and end use application are known. However, melt temperatures from 475°F to 535°F are recommended for initial start-ups.This product is from the former Equistar product line. |
