SABIC® PP 576S SABIC Polypropylene Homopolymer

Product Description

SABIC® PP 576S is a PP homopolymer grade that has good flow properties, excellent demoulding properties and a narrow molecular weight distribution. Products made from SABIC® PP 576S typically have low warpage, high stiffness in combination with moderate impact strength at room temperature and a high gloss.

SABIC® PP 576S is typically used in caps & closures and thin wall packaging both in food and non-food segments, and appliances.

The product mentioned herein is in particular not tested and therefore not validated for use in pharmaceutical/medical applications.
