Material Notes:
Polyethylene 18BOA is a low density formulation used for injection molding. It is an outstanding material for molding lids and other container closures because it processes easily on automatic molding equipment to produce molded items with excellent gloss, clarity, and warpage resistance. This formula complies with FDA regulations at 21 CFR177.1520 (c)(2.2) for use in articles for packing and holding food during cooking. Users must make their own determination that their use of this product is safe, legal, and technically suitable for their intended applications.Unless otherwise noted, all tests are run at 23°C and 50% RH.Information from manufacturer data sheet.Eastman Chemical Company sold its polyethylene business to Westlake Chemical Corporation in Dec. 2006. This grade no longer appears in the Westlake product line.
