PP random copolymer
KeyForm R1840
Natural
KeyForm R1840 is a polypropylene random copolymer for injection moulding, with clarifier and antistatic additivation. It combines very high flow with high transparency.
Description
KeyForm R1840 is a polypropylene random copolymer for injection moulding, with clarifier and antistatic additivation. It combines very high flow with high transparency. It is typically used in thin-wall packaging, where the supplier cites its high transparency, low warpage and aesthetic appearance. The supplier also reports significantly lower processing temperatures and shorter cycle times; any such benefit depends on the mould, equipment and operating conditions. The TDS also lists clear containers, housewares and toys.
