Packaging Information:
This material is packed and available in raffia bags with net content of 25.0 Kg only. The raffia bags used conforms to the minimum strength requirements of BIS, however, the customer shall take due care while handling the bag. Prolonged exposure of these bags to sunlight may deteriorate the bag’s performance and cause spillage and wastage. IOCL does not warranty loss of material due to poor material handling practices.
Regulatory Information:
HDPE 002DP48 meets “Specification for Polyethylene for safe use in contact with Foodstuff, Pharmaceuticals and Drinking water” as per IS: 10146-1982. It also
confirms to the positive list of constituents as per IS: 10141-1982. The grade and Additives incorporated shall meet with FDA: CFR Title21, 177.1520, Olefin
Polymers.
Storage & Handling:
Prevent HDPE Material from direct exposure to sunlight & heat to avoid quality deterioration. The storage location should be dry, dust free and the storage
temperature should not exceed 50˚C. Non – compliance to these precautionary measures can lead to degradation of the product causing color changes, odor
and inadequate product performance. It is advised to process HDPE material within 06 months of delivery.
