TotalEnergies Caps & Closures HDPE Portfolio
HD6042 - The solution to reduce material usage for tethered caps
TotalEnergies HDPE 6042 resin conceived for tethered cap application has enhanced mechanical and organoleptic properties, enabling identical technical cap performances with less material than market reference, thus reducing the carbon footprint of end applications, such as beverage or cosmetic bottles. When designed to be compatible with monomaterial packaging solutions, it helps improve sorting and recycling and thus reduce the environmental impact of packaging waste, contributing to the circular economy.
Suitable for both food and non-food contact applications, this product complies with all the Caps & Closures market requirements.
Key values:
- Comply with regulation European Directive (EU) 2019/904 (SUPD) on the reduction of the impact of plastic products on the environment
- Reduce plastic waste and facilitate recycling
- Enhance mechanical properties compared to conventional resins : high stiffness and enhanced stress crack resistance, resulting in excellent tearing properties
- Improved processability : excellent injectability

- Up to 40°C processing temperature reduction potential
- Certified organoleptic properties
Polyethylene Lumicene® M5220 family - Perfect for carbonated soft drinks, juices, milk and many more applications
TotalEnergies Lumicene® M5220 family offers highly performing bimodal products associated with significant cost savings. Suitable for a wide range of applications : carbonated soft drinks, juices, milk and beer.
Key values:
- Processability
- 15% lower energy consumption
- 10% cycle time reduction
- 20 to 45°C decrease in processing temperature
- Mechanical Performance
- Very good dimensional stability
- Rigidity
- Improved ESCR (twice as high as market reference)
- Chemical properties
- Excellent organoleptic properties
This grade family leads to significant reduction in GHG footprint: Consumption of 1000 t of M5220, M5220 M, or M5222 reduces CO2 emissions by 550 t eq.
rPE 57525 - Mechanically recycled grade for non-food contact caps
rPE57525 combines 50% recycled polyethylene obtained from mechanically recycled PCR with a high-performing booster to achieve virgin-like performances. This dark grey grade has been designed for non-food contact caps and closures applications. It offers easy processing with good balance of stiffness and stress cracking resistance.
With this grade, the final cap will exhibit the same shape and properties as its fossil-based alternative while offering a much lower carbon footprint.
