Clyrell EM248U LyondellBasell Polypropylene Impact Copolymer

Product Description

Clyrell EM248U is a soft polyolefinic resin combining the typical advantages of polypropylene random and heterophasic copolymers with very high Melt Flow rate. This resin is designed for injection moulding and extrusion applications. Clyrell EM248U is nucleated and antistatic additivated. It exhibits an excellent balance of stiffness, toughness and transparency. It features also good heat distortion resistance and good resistance to stress whitening. Clyrell EM248U is a metallocene catalyzed copolymer. Its very narrow molecular weight distribution makes it particularly suitable for distortion-free mouldings. Clyrell EM248U is applied in highly transparent applications, where stiffness, transparency and impact strength at temperatures up to -5°C are required. Clyrell EM248U is not visbroken.
