Product Description
Basell Australias polypropylene grade EP201N is a medium/high flow impact copolymer with a modified molecular weight distribution and is formulated with a general-purpose additive package. EP201N is designed for injection moulding applications requiring excellent mould filling properties, low warpage, low stress levels, good surface properties, reduced cycle times and a good impact/rigidity balance. End use products typically made from EP201N include domestic appliances and industrial mouldings.
