- Applications and Uses
Injection molding applications range from small containers and lids to large crates and bins. Low melt flow versions are used for blow molded bottles for milk, cosmetics, and chemicals, and in extruded items such as pipes and profiles. High molecular weight (HMW) grades are increasingly used for high strength blown films, and large blow molded items such as drums, water tanks, and toys.
