Pittsburgh, PA (May 25, 2010) – NOVA Chemicals Corporation today announced the commercialization of NOVAPOL® HB-W646-U resin for intermediate bulk container (IBC) applications.
Primarily used to produce containers for the storage of industrial materials, soaps, and liquid food products, NOVAPOL® HB-W646-U is a gas-phase hexene co-polymer resin that further complements NOVA Chemicals’ already solid portfolio of large part blow molding resins.
