Applications

EMDA-6147 is suitable for blow molding of closed head shipping containers of up to 50 liter size, fuel tanks, drums, jerry cans and other similar parts. The molded parts have smooth surfaces that can be readily treated for high quality printing. The containers may be utilized for packaging a variety of aggressive materials, such as, industrial chemicals, latex paint, printing inks and adhesives. Foodstuff can also be packaged in the containers in line with conformity of the resin with food contact regulations. EMDA-6147 is also suitable for making non-pressure “gravity” pipes for drainage and sewage applications.
