Polypropylene Random Copolymer
Description
RCP 55900 is a high melt flow random copolymer with fast cycle time and good mold and denesting release. It is designed for injection molding including thin wall applications.
RCP 55900 meets the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as specified in 21 CFR 177.1520, covering safe use of polyolefin articles and components of articles intended for direct food contact.
The use of an advanced clarifier with low yellowness index and haze – makes it an excellent choice for ‘see-through’ housewares and rigid packaging. Use of this clarifier allows processers to run at lower temperatures - resulting in the potential for cycle time reductions and energy savings.
