| Product Description | ||||
|
SABIC® PP 578N is a nucleated PP homopolymer grade. This grade allows for cost efficient processing on the basis of good flow behavior, short cycle times, and robust processing behaviour. Products made from SABIC® PP 578N typically have low warpage, high stiffness in combination with moderate impact strength at room temperature, and a high gloss.
SABIC® PP 578N is typically used in domestic appliances and furniture, even as replacement for talcum or chalk filled compounds. |
