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. Valtec HS012 is a homopolymer particularly suitable for the extrusion of cast and water quenched blown film, used for applications where slip and anti-blocking agents are not required.

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.
