CONTINUUM™ Bimodal Polyethylene Resins

CONTINUUM™ Bimodal Polyethylene Resins offer opportunities for increased competitive advantage with a unique combination of high stiffness and environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) – adding exceptional value with the potential for downgauging, reduced material use and enhanced sustainability.

UNIVAL™ High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Resins

UNIVAL™ High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Resins are industry standard, “workhorse” materials for everything from food and beverage bottles to agricultural chemical drums.

3d reservoir storage supply

What are HDPE resins for drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs)?

Our HDPE resins for drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) offer outstanding durability/drop impact, ESCR, chemical resistance, uniform wall thickness and the stiffness required for robust top load strength.

They’re also designed to comply with UN/DOT ratings, as well as food, fire safety and other global and regional regulatory requirements. Together, these benefits make them an excellent choice for shipping and/or storing food, beverages, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals and more.

Game changing solution for pharmaceutical packaging

CONTINUUM™ DMDE-6620 HEALTH+™ Bimodal Polyethylene Resin answers the unique challenges of blow molded pharmaceutical packaging with improved gaseous barrier performance, outstanding stiffness/toughness/top load, high ESCR and excellent organoleptics.  

Enhancing sustainability efforts

Equally important, this versatile HDPE product can enhance sustainability efforts by allowing bottle weight reductions of up to 15 percent while maintaining barrier and top load performance. (Of course, it can also maintain current bottle weight and offer even higher levels of performance.)

And finally, excellent processability in a wide range of blow molding processes makes it a “one-stop shop” for pharmaceutical, healthcare, and nutritional bottling needs.

Polymers for bottles and other small containers

 Our polymers for bottles and other small containers produce a distinct combination of toughness/stiffness/top load, drop impact, ESCR, barrier, chemical resistance and organoleptics to meet the needs of an amazing range of applications, including:

Advancing sustainability in plastic packaging

In addition to enhancing sustainability by reducing material use, the ability of selected resins to maintain top load at lighter bottle weights creates opportunities for increased design freedom. And, in alignment with Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) guidelines, bottles made with CONTINUUM™ and UNIVAL™ Resins can team up with EVERCAP™ Innovative Closure Resins to help improve recycle stream integrity at the end of their useful life. We’re also continuing to explore and participating in a wide range of other sustainability programs.
