Product Description
Adflex KS021P is a reactor TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) manufactured using LyondellBasell's proprietary Catalloy process technology. It is suitable for the extrusion and calendering of soft film and sheet, for the impact modification of polypropylene, as well as monolayer and multilayer air quenched blown films.
It is also used by our customers as high cold impact resistance material for automotive color-matched interior trim applications. Key characteristics are flexibility and low temperature impact resistance.
The grade is available in natural pellet form.
