REPOL (POLYPROPYLENE)

REPOL - R0120MK (RANDOM COPOLYMER)

Product Description and Applications
REPOL Polypropylene R120MK 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 R120MK is recommended for use in Injection  Moulding processes. It is an ideal material for attending high clarity in housewares, medical syringes and toothbrush handles.Repol R120MK contains antistatic agent that reduces static charge buildup on products.

Features

Repol R120MK is designed to provide
  • Consistent  processability
  • Good clarity 
  • Superior mechanical properties
  • Low static charge build-up and reduced dust pickup
