LyondellBasell Alathon® M5372 High Density Polyethylene
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); High Density (HDPE)
Material Notes:	Applications ALATHON M 5372 copolymer with narrow weight distribution. This resin provides high impact strength and stress crack resistance, excellent color, low odor and good processing stability. Typical applications include open head pails, and large shipping containers. Regulatory Status M 5372 meets the requirements of 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 M 5372 can only be made when the processing conditions, equipment and end use are known. This product is from the former Equistar product line.
