 and the fast cycles required by makers of beverage closures and collapsible tubes. Hostalen GX4027 from Basell Polyolefins Basell is the world's largest producer of polypropylene and advanced polyolefins products, the world's largest producer of polyethylene , and a global leader in the development and licensing of polypropylene and polyethylene processes, and a leader in catalysts. , Elkhart, Md., is produced with the company's Hostalen Advanced Cascade Process (ACP (Associate Computing Professional) The award for successful completion of an examination in computers offered by the ICCP.

). "Beverage closures need to withstand extreme climate conditions, long shelf life, and high carbonation levels, while collapsible tubes must resist extreme stress in use. Converters demand faster cycle times without a loss of ESCR," says James Stem, technical manager for caps and closures at Basell Polyolefins Europe.

Industrial trials of the new HDPE reportedly show significant savings in cycle times from reducing melt temperature by 40[degrees]C (72[degrees]F) without harmful effect on mold filling. Independent sensory tests have shown the material to exhibit good organoleptics as required in beverage applications. Tel: (800) 955-3223 * PT Direct: 217LH
