Enhanced PP copolymer grade with better stiffness and impact balance

Leading Saudi Arabian PP producer, National Petrochemical Industrial Company (NATPET), introduces at Plasteurasia 2015 the multiple processing and performance benefits of its newly-enhanced PP impact copolymer grade Teldene® B20ML.

The B20ML grade has been upgraded in performance and processability by replacing NaBz with Milliken’s unique nucleating agent Hyperform® HPN-20E. In order to achieve better shrinkage control and improved stiffness without affecting the grade’s impact performance Hyperform HPN-20E has been evaluated as a better choice. It also insures better dispersion leading to more consistent quality.

The improved Teldene B20ML provides converters with better stiffness/impact balance in both machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD). The excellent isotropic shrinkage control facilitates a dimensional stability to eliminate warpage. This, together with the improved thermal properties achieved with Hyperform HPN-20E, also provides downgauging advantage to the converters with higher profit.

Furthermore, the use of Hyperform HPN-20E creates processing benefits and cost reduction for downstream converters and compounders. The grade’s excellent stiffness/impact balance with medium fluidity and consistent quality allow cycle time reduction and lower machine running cost. At the same time, the improved isotropic shrinkage minimizes wastage.

The enhanced features of improved B20ML grade enabled it as the most suitable for potential market segments, such as large pails and automotive compounding. Also it acquires a leading position in prevailed application of food and non-food packaging.

More information on Teldene B20ML is available at the NATPET Booth number #711B at Plasteurasia 2015 from December 3-6, 2015 in Istanbul.
