Product Description
HI-1252 is a certified prime copolymer designed for molding applications requiring good toughness and moderate stiffness. HI-1252 features medium flow, easy processability, good Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance (ESCR,) good impact strength, and good warpage resistance. HI-1252 applications include housewares, medium size food pails, buckets, over-caps and closures, tote boxes, toys, ink and photo-film cartridges. HI-1252 recommended processing temperature is 210 to 230°C. with mold @ 20 to 40°C.
