Product Description
BC245MO is a very stiff high impact polypropylene heterophasic copolymer intended for injection moulding. This grade is characterized by combination of good stiffness, good creep resistance and very high impact strength even at low temperatures. This grade features high impact strength, high thermal stability and very good processability. As all polypropylenes, this grade shows excellent stress-cracking and chemical resistances.

This grade is mildly nucleated to maximize the mechanical stiffness. The additive formulation provides a smooth demoulding. Nucleation, good flow properties and high stiffness create a high potential for cycle time reduction. Its very good organoleptic properties allows this grade to be used with any masterbatch without discoloring problems.
