CAP508US is a high density bimodal polyethylene copolymer intended for the injection and compression molding of closures for beverages. Because of its high purity and excellent organoleptic properties, this grade is certified as low taste and is intended for packaging in direct contact with beverages. CAP508USexhibits excellent stress crack resistance needed for the production of closures intended for packaging of carbonated drinks. CAP508US does not contain a slip package, therefore can also be used for packaging still and sparkling water. This material meets the Food and Drug Administration requirements of 21CFR 177.1520. Applications: Injection & Compression Molding. Closures for the packaging of carbonated and hot fill beverages and water. Use in high-demanding applications such as warm climates. Use in reduced weight cap designs. Features: Outstanding stress cracking resistance. Good processing performance.Information provided by INEOS |
