Product Description
KT AR05 is a novel plastomeric material based on Basell technology with unique characteristics. KT AR05 shows an excellent compression set performance at 70 deg.C and is highly compatible with Polypropylene(PP). Blended with PP it enhances softness, elastic recovery, elongation at break and impact resistance whilst improving transparancy and reducing stress whitening. Blended at low concentrations in PP KT AR05 enhances also the thermal bonding strength. KT AR05 is available in free flowing pellet form.
