REPOL (POLYPROPYLENE)

REPOL - C080MA(1) (IMPACT COPOLYMER)

Product Description and Applications

REPOL Polypropylene C080MA is manufactured using Unipol PP process which combines the production efficiency of gas phase fluidized bed reactor technology with the high activity and stereo specificity of the SHAC catalyst system.

REPOL C080MA is recommended for use in Injection Moulding processes where high impact strength is required. It is an ideal material for making industrial products. Repol C080MA contains antistatic agent that reduces static charge build up on products.

Features

Repol C080MA is designed to provide

Consistent processability
Good stiffness-impact balance
Good surface gloss
Low static charge build up and reduced dust pick up.

(1) - Also available with long term heat stabilizer package for under bonnet applications in automotive industry.
