Borouge BE961MO Impact Copolymer PP Resin
Borouge BE961MO is a heterophasic copolymer PP by Borouge, with an optimal blend of high stiffness, low creep, and very high impact strength.
Physical Properties
- Density:Measured by ISO 1183, density is 0.905 g/cc (0.0327 lb/in³).It impacts product weight and affects material usage in production.
- Linear Mold Shrinkage:Ranging 0.015 – 0.020 cm/cm, it’s key in mold design.Ensures molded parts have accurate dimensions for proper fit.
- Melt Flow:12 g/10 min at 230 °C under 2.16 kg load per ISO 1133.Governs the material’s fluidity during processing like injection molding.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Polypropylene (PP)
- Key Features & Characteristics:
- Exceptional Impact Strength: The heterophasic nature of this copolymer provides it with excellent toughness, particularly at low temperatures.
- High Stiffness: Despite its good impact resistance, the material maintains high rigidity, which is crucial for producing strong, load-bearing parts that hold their shape.
- Good Dimensional Stability: With low shrinkage and warpage, this grade ensures that blow-molded parts have consistent dimensions, which is vital for complex designs and tight tolerances.
- Excellent ESCR (Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance): It is highly resistant to stress cracking when exposed to aggressive chemicals, making it suitable for containers that hold detergents, oils, or other liquids.
Applications:
- Detergent bottles: The material’s high ESCR makes it a perfect choice for packaging household cleaners and detergents.
- Industrial chemical tanks: Its chemical resistance and rigidity are well-suited for durable containers used in industrial settings.
- Automotive radiator tanks: It can withstand heat and chemical exposure, making it an excellent material for automotive fluid reservoirs.
- Bottles: Used for various liquid containers, offering a good balance of durability and low weight.
