Description

COC, meaning Cyclic Olefin Copolymer, resin is a game changer in innovation and technology for the industry. HDPE hasn’t been a viable option for high-speed processing for years. With the use of COC with HDPE we can greatly expand the processing window and speed. Learn about this process from Paul Tatarka at Polyplastics during this presentation.

Colgate Palmolive used COC and explored how this material can be used in a real-world application. Jun Wang will share their case study of this application using extrusion grade HDPE with a higher Tg COC to create an opaque bottle with no pigment, reducing time and increasing productivity.
