Product Description
Clyrell EC340Q is a specially designed nucleated polypropylene copolymer for injection moulding.
Clyrell EC340Q offers an excellent impact / stiffness balance, easy processing, low stress whitening with very high gloss and low shrinkage for use in toys, sport, leisure, food packaging, containers, housewares, consumer goods and similar applications.
The unique low shrinkage of Clyrell EC340Q suggests its potential use also in applications which are typically dominated by styrenics. This grade is suitable for food contact.
