LyondellBasell HP401H Homopolymer PP Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Measured according to Method D and ISO 1183 – 1, the density is 0.900 g/cc (0.0325 lb/in³).
• Melt Flow: As per ISO 1133 – 1, at a temperature of 230 °C (446 °F) under a load of 2.16 kg (4.76 lb), the melt flow rate is 2.2 g/10 min.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material:Polypropylene (PP)
• Modification Features
  • Low flow homopolymer with conventional molecular weight distribution.
  • Incorporates general – purpose additive package.
  • Balances hot melt strength during processing and high production rates.
  • Delivers good combination of rigidity, clarity and impact performance.

Applications:

Moplen HP401H is primarily used in the production of:

1. Thermoformed Food Containers:
   • This is a key application for this grade.
   • The material’s balanced properties, including good rigidity and impact performance, ensure the final container is durable and can handle the demands of packaging and transport.
   • Its suitability for food contact makes it a safe choice for this market.
2. Sheet and Profile Extrusion:
   • Its low melt flow rate is optimized for creating sheets that will be used in subsequent forming operations.
   • The high melt strength allows for high production rates and consistent sheet quality.
3. Extrusion Blow Molding: The grade can also be used for extrusion blow molding, where a low-flow material is necessary to form bottles and other hollow shapes.
4. Stationery Sheets: The rigidity and processability of the material make it suitable for producing durable stationery items like folders and binders.
