Product Description
Basell Australias polypropylene grade EP203L is a medium flow impact copolymer with a conventional molecular weight distribution and is formulated with a general-purpose additive package. EP203L is designed for injection moulding applications requiring consistent processability, good stiffness, outstanding impact strength, and exceptional impact strength retention at low temperatures. End use products typically made from EP203L include crates, pails, pail lids, other industrial mouldings and closures.
