Product Description
Moplen 
EP548S
Moplen EP548S is a nucleated heterophasic copolymer with antistatic agent used for injection moulding applications.
It exhibits an outstanding balance of mechanical properties combined with a medium high fluidity.

Moplen EP548S is extensively used in housewares and in thin-walled containers for food packaging (e.g. margerine tubs, yoghurt pots, etc.).

Moplen EP548S is suitable for food contact.
