LyondellBasell unveils new PP impact copolymer
LyondellBasell introduces Pro-Fax EP648R, a new polypropylene (PP) impact copolymer designed to meet challenging performance demands across a wide range of industries.
Pro-Fax EP648R features a balance between impact resistance and stiffness, making it ideal for high-performance injection-molded products like garden furniture, crates, pails, caps & closures and thin-walled packaging.
This new grade uses advanced nucleation technology to boost rigidity without sacrificing toughness, delivering a mechanical profile that rivals or surpasses top market alternatives.
It also contains an anti-static additive which aids with easy part ejection during molding, saving converters time and money due to high-speed cycle times when paired with the resin’s advanced nucleation.
With Pro-Fax EP648R, LyondellBasell is expanding its reach into new applications, including rigid food packaging, consumer goods, appliances and industrial sectors where strength, dimensional stability and impact resistance are essential.
