Product Description
BB125MO is a heterophasic copolymer. This grade is a low melt flow rate grade intended for blow moulding and sheet extrusion, and features extremely good processability with improved melt strength and melt stability. As all polypropylenes, this grade shows excellent stress-cracking and chemical resistances.

This polymer is one of the IMP (improved mechanical stability) grades, and is characterized by very high stiffness without any loss of impact strength even at low temperatures. Its very good organoleptic properties allows this grade to be used with any masterbatch without discoloring problems.
