Product Description
ASTALON™ H2000R / H2001R / H2003R are low/medium viscosity (high melt flow) grades in the ASTALON™ range and are well suited to difficult to fill injection moulding applications which require a mould release agent (R). Offering an excellent balance of transparency, toughness, heat resistance, flame retardancy and processability, typical applications include security cases and point of sale displays. Note: [ Standard grade = H2000R ] / [ FDA approved = H2001R ] / [ Steam resistant = H2003R ].
