Product Description
ASTALON™ E1500U / E1501U / E1503U are the ultra high viscosity (very low melt flow) grades in the ASTALON™ range specifically designed for profile applications requiring UV stabilisation (U). E1500U offers an excellent balance of transparency, toughness, UV stability, flame retardancy and processability.

Note: [ Standard grade = E1500U ] / [ FDA compliant = E1501U ].
