Selecting the right material for medical packaging is critical to ensuring product safety, stability, and regulatory compliance. For blow molded applications, the resin must balance processability, mechanical performance, and sterilization resistance.

LyondellBasell's Purell LDPE PE3020D is a medical-grade low-density polyethylene specifically developed for healthcare and pharmaceutical packaging. Its well-balanced properties make it a reliable choice for blow molding processes.

Key Material Properties

1. High Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR)

Ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization is widely used in the medical industry, but it can induce stress cracking in some polymers. PE3020D exhibits an ESCR value of 16 hours (ASTM D1693), ensuring container integrity after sterilization without micro-cracks or loss of seal strength.

2. Sufficient Stiffness for Thin-Wall Containers

Bottles and vials must maintain their shape after filling and handling. With a tensile modulus of 300 MPa (ISO 527), PE3020D provides the rigidity needed for thin-wall designs while allowing for lightweighting.

3. Good Optical Clarity

Visual inspection of medical contents is essential. PE3020D offers excellent transparency, enabling quick and clear visibility of liquid levels or foreign particles, which enhances end-user confidence.

4. Medical-Grade Purity

As part of the Purell portfolio, PE3020D is manufactured under strict quality controls to minimize leachables and extractables, facilitating compliance with FDA and ISO standards for medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging.

Typical Applications

Application Area	Specific Products	Material Benefits
