RE420MO
Description
RE420MO is a specially modified highly-transparent polypropylene random copolymer with medium melt flow rate.
This grade is intended for injection moulding and stretch blow moulding. It is designed for high-speed injection
moulding and contains nucleating and demoulding additives.
Products originating from this grade have excellent transparency, very good organoleptic properties, good balance
of stiffness and impact strength at ambient temperature, low blooming and good demoulding properties.
CAS-No. 9010-79-1
Applications
