Product Description
Koylene ADL AS160N is a high melt flow homopolymer especially formulated to produce multifilaments and staple fibre through the process of melt spinning. However, it is recommended to establish its suitability as the line speeds can vary considerably for different spinning lines. Suitability of specific spin finish should also be established as it sometimes reacts with stabilisers present in the polymer.

FOOD CONTACT APPLICATIONS: This grade meets with the requirements of Indian Standard IS: 10910 on "Specifications for Polypropylene and its copolymers for its safe use in contact with foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and drinking water". The grade also complies with FDA regulation : CFR TITLE 21 - 177.1520, on olefin polymers.
