Product Description
Softell CA 02 A is a reactor TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) manufactured using the LyondellBasell's proprietary Catalloy process technology.
It is primarily used for the extrusion, calendering and extrusion blow molding of very soft film and sheet.
Softell CA 02 A exhibits outstanding low stiffness, excellent low hardness and very good impact resistance. Softell CA 02 A shows high compatibility to fillers and flame retardant additives as well as to other polyolefins.
The grade is available in natural pellet form.
