Pro-fax PF511

Description

Pro-fax PF511 radiation resistant, high melt flow, controlled rheology polypropylene homopolymer is available in pellet form. This resin is typically used in injection molding applications and offers enhanced retention of physical properties and color after radiation sterilization.

This resin resists yellowing and embrittlement after gamma radiation.  However, since performance and appearance after radiation sterilization can be sensitive to design and processing choices, the users should verify performance in their application.

Our customers typically use this resin in applications such as medical devices, syringes, and labware.
