Product Description
"Valtec" PF017 ultra-high melt flow, narrow molecular weight polypropylene homopolymer resin is suitable for melt-blown fiber extrusion applications. This material is available in spherical particle form.

This base polymer's narrow molecular weight distribution promotes thread line continuity and reduces fly or lint. Its high melt flow allows reduced processing temperatures that save energy.
