Product Description
Valtec is the new controlled morphology polypropylene manufactured by Indelpro using the Spheripol process. Compared to ordinary pelletized polypropylene, Valtec could present advantages in terms of improved productivity, better processing and lower energy consumption. End products can also have superior characteristics when using Valtec in a number of application areas. Valtec HP423M is a homopolymer particularly suitable for the extrusion of slit tape (raffia), monofilaments and general purpose injection molding.

The base resin in this product meets the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) contained in the Code of Federal Regulations in 21 CFR 177.1520.
