Array™ EBM 5860

1 of 3 products in this brand
Array™ EBM 5860 polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin is designed to have the melt strength and slow crystallization rate required to produce large handle ware containers by extrusion blow molding. It performs exceptionally well in the manufacture of thick walled containers where maintaining clarity and neutral color are important. The higher intrinsic viscosity of this product gives the melt strength required to maintain parison shape in continuous extrusion. This product can be used with up to 50% in-plant EBM regrind provided regrind has been dried. In addition, DAK has designed Array® EBM 5860 to be recyclable with other PET products and this product has met the APR Critical Guidance Document guidelines for PET.
