Applications VORIDIAN polyethylene 811 is a low density formulation used primarily for injection molding. With its high melt index, the material flows well in molding machines and fills large molds with ease. It is used for molding housewares and other items where a flexible, easy molding formula is desired. VORIDIAN polyethylene 811 natural as supplied by Voridian may lawfully be used in food-contact applications (noncooking) under FDA regulations at 21 CFR 177.1520(c)(2.1).
