LyondellBasell Petrothene® NA860241 Low Density Polyethylene (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Low Density (LDPE); Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Molded
Material Notes:	Applications PETROTHENE NA 860 is a series of medium flow, low density polyethylene resins for the injection molding of caps, closures and other specialty applications. These resins exhibit an excellent balance of toughness, softness, dimensional stability and processability. Regulatory Status NA 860 meets the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration regulation, 21 CFR 177.1520. This regulation allows the use of this olefin polymer in "…articles or components of articles intended for use in contact with food…" Specific limitations or conditions of use may apply. Processing Techniques Specific recommendations for processing NA 860 can only be made when the processing conditions, equipment and end use are known. This product is from the former Equistar product line.
