Stretchene, a new family of PP resins for use in injection stretch blow molding applications, can stand up to this rigorous conversion process with enhanced features including:

• Low density of 0.90 g/cm3 - >30% below PET, offering potential weight savings;
• Excellent transparency at the container wall;
• High thermal stability for hot fill, sterilization and microwave requirements;
• Energy savings in processing - drying not required; and
• Excellent low water vapour transmission rates.
