Outstanding stiffness, top load and wall strength allow wall thickness and bottle weight reductions of more than 20%, while improved gaseous barrier performance helps provide longer shelf life with up to 50% lower moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR). The result is lighter, thinner, 100% recyclable bottles that maintain stringent pharmaceutical performance requirements (or offer even higher levels of performance at incumbent bottle weights). 

A spart of our DOW™ HEALTH+™ service offering, CONTINUUM™ DMDE-6620 HEALTH+™ Resin also includes:  

• Secure, global product supply 
• 1-year notification of change (NOC) + 1-year right to buy 
• U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520(c) 3.2a 
• U.S. FDA Drug Master File 1847 
• U.S. Pharmacopoeia (Class VI) 
• Canadian HPFB No Objection, EU, No 10/2011

Finally, like all CONTINUUM™ blow molding grades, this product offers excellent processability in a wide range of processes, including compression blow forming (CBF), injection blow molding (IBM) and extrusion blow molding (EBM). In fact, CONTINUUM™ DMDE-6620 HEALTH+™ Resin can even help increase productivity, with up to 33% faster cycle times. 

Working side-by-side with customers, we use our deep understanding of material science and decades of proven PE performance to help develop custom-tailored solutions for new and existing bottle designs. And Pack Studios – our exclusive, global network of technical experts, equipment and testing capabilities – helps us bring innovative applications to market even faster and more cost efficiently. 

Their unique balance of stiffness, impact strength and environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) allows CONTINUUM™ Resins to offer unsurpassed lightweight closure performance for pressurized beverages, harsh chemicals, medicine, cosmetics and other products that require increased durability, safety and security. And, in addition to significantly enhanced performance, reduced material use and excellent organoleptics, they can also offer opportunities for incorporation of post-consumer recycle (PCR) content and lower overall costs.

The inherent softness of PE also enables functional bore seal, helping create airtight barrier sealing without the need for liners. This allows conversion from two-piece, lined polypropylene (PP) closures to lighter, one-piece PE closures – with the potential for reduced production time and costs.

Our strong understanding of material science and long history of proven PE performance help us team up with customers to develop tailored solutions for new and existing designs. Pack Studios – our exclusive, global network of technical experts, equipment and testing capabilities – supports these efforts, helping bring innovative applications to market faster and more cost efficiently.
