SABIC to Launch High Performing HDPE Healthcare grade for Large Containers at Innopack 2012
10/11/2012
SITTARD, The Netherlands, October 10, 2012 - In close cooperation with Mauser, a well-known supplier of blow moulded industrial packaging solutions, a grade of high density polyethylene (HDPE) intended to meet the demands typically required of large containers used in healthcare applications has been developed by SABIC. SABIC® HDPE PCG4906 specifications may be applicable for such products as jerry cans, open-head and tight-head drums, and Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), as well as for blow moulded bottles.
The relevant European and American pharmacopeia requirements are met by SABIC® HDPE PCG4906. Furthermore, it has the physical and mechanical properties required by customers for the production of containers with volumes up to 1000 litres.
The first drums produced by Mauser in the new grade meet requirements based on UN recommendations covering transport of dangerous goods. Procedures involve stacking, drop tests at -18ºC, and hydraulic internal pressure tests.
The cooperation between the two companies started three years ago when they first joined forces to develop a new generation of HDPE for L-ring drums which set new standards in processing performance and system cost reduction. This led to the introduction of SABIC® HDPE ICP5602.
"Our experience in cooperating with SABIC on the development of the high-performance SABIC® HDPE ICP 5602 gave us confidence that together we could come up with a new grade that meets even tougher requirements," says Klaus Peter Schmidt, Head of Global Product Development at Mauser. "We are confident that SABIC® HDPE PCG4906 will meet an important need in the healthcare market. With our new multilayer L-Ring drum produced from this new SABIC grade we are not only targeting healthcare but also other industries with high demands in regard to packaging material cleanliness, regulatory conformity and last but not least long term supply security. We are looking forward to expanding our business in this area."
"Working with Mauser, we have been able to develop a grade that has the right balance of density, melt flow, impact strength and environmental stress crack resistance [ESCR]," says Ton Sevriens, Business Development Manager HDPE, SABIC, region Europe. "Mauser shared with us their substantial knowledge in the production of large containers, steering us in the right direction so that we could fine-tune our own material production process accordingly."
SABIC® HDPE PCG4906 has a melt flow rate of 6 g/10 min (190ºC, 21.6 kg), a notched Izod impact strength of 17 kJ/m2 at -30ºC, and an ESCR of 30 MPa (Strain Hardening).
Sevriens says that SABIC aims to be the preferred company that offers customers a grade designed for large containers that also meets the high requirements demanded by healthcare specifiers. "Several grades already exist in the market for industrial applications, but this is the only one especially dedicated to pharma applications," he says. "We expect this development to establish SABIC as the key supplier for big container resins for the pharma market."
"With the new grade, SABIC is expanding its portfolio of healthcare thermoplastics to cover all types of packaging used in the sector," says Hery Randrianantoandro, Business Development Manager Healthcare, SABIC, region Europe. "Mauser was very receptive to the idea of collaborating on the project, they share our vision for developing the blown container market."
The rigid part of the drum's sealing cap is also made of the new SABIC® HDPE PCG4906. The sealing ring moreover is produced with SABIC® LDPE PCG02, which offers flexibility during seal assembling in combination with a high level of purity. SABIC already has healthcare grades of HDPE designed for production of smaller blow moulded and injection moulded containers. These grades, which carry the PCG classification, offer good processing behaviour and stability, as well as a good stiffness/ESCR balance.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
