Hifax CA 7271 A is a reactor TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) manufactured using the LyondellBasell’s proprietary Catalloy process technology.
It is designed for injection molding controlled shrinkage applications (e.g. bumpers). Hifax CA 7271 A exhibits high melt flow rate with good impact/stiffness balance and reduced shrinkage.
The grade is available in natural pellet form.
