CAP508US1 is a high density bimodal polyethylene copolymer intended for the injection and compression molding of closures for beverages. Because of its high purity and excellent organoleptic properties, this grade is certified as low taste and is intended for packaging in direct contact with beverages. CAP508US1 exhibits excellent stress crack resistance needed for the production of closures intended for packaging of carbonated drinks. CAP508US1 does not contain a slip package, therefore can also be used for packaging still and sparkling water. This material meets the Food and Drug Administration requirements of 21CFR 177.1520.
