Product Description
Metocene GPH400M is a high melt flow rate resin with very narrow molecular weight distribution. It is suitable for melt blown fibers as well as compounding extrusion applications. This material is available as a free-flowing, low dust granule resin. This product contains no peroxide or peroxide decomposition by-products. The narrow molecular weight distribution and high degree of resin consistency promote finer fibers, enhanced fiber filament thread line continuity as well as reduced fly and lint in melt blown spinning processes. Its high melt flow rate allows reduced processing temperatures and energy savings. This is a low smoke, clean running resin with good thermal and processing stability.
