EMDA-6200 HDPE Blow Molding Resin

DESCRIPTION
EMDA-6200 grade is a high-density polyethylene copolymer resin designed for blow molding small to medium
size bottles. It can be used on intermittent as well as continuous blow molding machines for high-speed
production of high quality bottles. The bottles have excellent environmental stress cracking resistance and a
good balance of rigidity and impact strength. They are easily trimmed and exhibit excellent surface attributes.

APPLICATIONS
EMDA-6200 is intended for producing containers of up to 10 liter capacity for packaging household and
industrial chemicals (detergents, bleach, fabric softeners, etc.) toiletries, cosmetics and food products. It is also
suitable for producing thin-walled parts and household items.
In addition EMDA-6200 can also be used successfully for extruding sheets and profiles including corrugated
drainage pipes.
