Product Description
Metocene RM2231 is a high performance low melt flow rate metallocene based polyolefin copolymer intended for extrusion blow moulding applications. Metocene RM2231 is a developmental product with nucleation. The grade exhibits excellent transparency combined with a good stiffness/impact balance. The main applications of Metocene RM2231 are injection blow moulding, extrusion blow moulding, sheet extrusion and thermoforming. The high degree of resin consistency are ideally suited for low warpage / high dimensional stability parts, excellent clarity, excellent gloss, good stiffness, high level of cleanliness and excellent organoleptic properties.
