Moplen EP445L is a polypropylene impact copolymer with medium melt flow rate, suitable for compression and injection molding processes.
Moplen EP445L exhibits a good stiffness and impact strength balance, high stress cracking resistance and low stress whitening behaviour.
Moplen EP445L is nucleated, for faster crystallization rate and increased productivity. It contains both slip and antistatic additives, for easier demolding and low coefficient of friction.
Moplen EP445L is typically used in caps and closures. Other typical applications are in the field of housewares, toys and rigid packaging.
