(PR Newswire) -- The Dow
Chemical Company has expanded the availability of CONTINUUM EP High
Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Resins. This new generation of bimodal HDPE
resins bridges the gap between conventional unimodal and bimodal HDPEs by
offering the potential for enhanced performance, processing, and profits in blow
molded bottle and drum applications. The resin was initially introduced in 2009
and, with customer testing complete, is now commercially available.
The CONTINUUM EP product family currently includes two bimodal resins:
CONTINUUM EP-6630 HDPE for blow molded bottles and XDMDA-6670 EP HDPE for
large blow molded parts such as drums.
The dramatically enhanced environmental stress crack resistance of these
resins offers the potential for significantly improved performance in existing
applications and equivalent or better performance in lightweighted containers.
