General Information
Product Description
SGF4950 is a high-density polyethylene copolymer, developed for the blow-molding segment. It shows well balanced properties between impact and stiffness, combined with high environmental stress cracking resistance and processability. The minimum biobased content of this grade is 96%, determined according to ASTM D6866.

Application:
Bottles for household cleaning products and health and care products;
Bottles for food products;
Caps & closures molded by compression;
Rigid containers for cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications (complies with USP 33).

Process:
Blow Molding.
