Product Description
Clyrell 7173 XCP is clear polypropylene random copolymer particularly suited for thermoforming/injection blow moulding and single or multi layer sheet extrusion. It offers an excellent clarity and gloss and these characteristics may be further enhanced through orientation processes (i.e. injection stretch blow moulding). The injection moulding applications of the Clyrell 7173 XCP include posts and cups for foodstuff, trays for biscuits and bakery products, caps and closures for cosmetic and toiletry applications. Extruded sheet made of the Clyrell 7173 XCP can be used in stationary folders and for thermoforming articles such as trays for fresh pasta, sweets or biscuits, fruit and vegetable containers and posts for dairy products.
