Product Description
Adflex KS311P is a reactor TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) manufactured using LyondellBasell's proprietary Catalloy process technology. It is suitable for extrusion as well as injection molding and blow molding applications, including mechanical and decorative automotive parts requiring elastomeric type properties, like molded-in color automotive exterior components. The product is in fact used by our customers for applications with paintable and weatherable requirements, such as injection molded fascias, claddings, bumper covers, body panels, step pads, and air deflectors. It is also used as a component in compounded materials for a wide range of industrial applications.
The grade is available in natural pellet form.
