| Product Description | ||||
|
ALATHON H4557X02 is a high-flow freezer grade resin that exhibits enhanced cold temperature impact performance, enhanced processability and thermal stability, with good color and organoleptic properties. Typical applications are rigid food containers such as four, five, and six-quart ice cream containers that are produced at high speeds in fast cycling multi-cavity stack molds.
