HOUSTON, Oct. 15, 2025 – LyondellBasell (NYSE: LYB) is excited to introduce Pro-Fax EP648R, a new polypropylene impact copolymer designed to meet challenging performance demands across a wide range of industries.
“Pro-Fax EP648R embodies our dedication to innovation and delivering differentiated solutions for our customers,” said James Deaton, LYB commercial manager. “It’s a reliable, high-performing resin that meets the evolving needs of today’s demanding applications.”
Pro-Fax EP648R strikes the perfect balance between impact resistance and stiffness, making it ideal for high-performance injection-molded products like garden furniture, crates, pails, caps & closures and thin-walled packaging.
