IRPC 3342R Random Copolymer PP Resin
IRPC 3342R is a random copolymer polypropylene (PP) from IRPC Public Company Limited, designed for high-clarity extrusion and thermoforming applications.
Physical Properties
- Melt Flow: Determined by ASTM D1238, the melt flow rate is 20 g/10 min under a 2.16 kg (4.76 lb) load at 230 °C (446 °F), indicating the material’s flow behavior during processing.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Polypropylene (PP)
- Key Features & Characteristics:
- High Transparency & Clarity: Superior clarity, ideal for applications needing visual appeal and product visibility.
- Good Heat Resistance: High Vicat softening point suits high-temperature uses like hot-fill containers.
- Good Processability: Moderate melt flow rate optimized for extrusion, enabling consistent high-quality sheets/films.
- Balanced Mechanical Properties: Stiffness and impact strength balance ensures durable, breakage-resistant products.
Applications:
- Food containers: Used for transparent food containers, tubs, and trays that require good heat resistance for hot-fill or microwaveable applications.
- Household goods: Suitable for clear storage boxes, bottles, and other consumer products where visibility and durability are desired.
- Medical and laboratory equipment: Its clarity and heat resistance make it a good material for medical syringes, petri dishes, and laboratory bottles.
- Transparent films: The material is well-suited for producing clear packaging films via extrusion.
