Product Description
Basell Australias polypropylene grade EP203N is a medium/high flow impact copolymer with a modified molecular weight distribution and is formulated with a general-purpose additive package. EP203N is designed for injection moulding applications requiring excellent mould filling properties, good stiffness, outstanding impact strength, and exceptional impact strength retention at low temperatures. End use products typically made from EP203N include crates, pails, pail lids, other industrial mouldings, domestic appliances and closures.
