Product Description
Moplen EP1006 is a heterophasic copolymer, suitable for injection moulding, with an additivation for a long term heat resistance.
It exhibits a high impact also at low temperature, combined with high stiffness and low stress withening.

Moplen EP1006 can be used in injection moulding for applications requiring a good resistance to temperature degradation, in particular for battery cases and automotive components.

Moplen EP1006 is suitable for food contact.
