LyondellBasell HP500N Homopolymer PP Resin
LyondellBasell HP500N is a homopolymer polypropylene (PP) resin widely recognized for its excellent flow characteristics and balanced mechanical properties.
Physical Properties
- Density: The density of this material, measured in accordance with ASTM D792, is 0.900 grams per cubic centimeter (0.0325 pounds per cubic inch), indicating its relative mass per unit volume.
- Melt Flow: According to ASTM D1238 testing standards, the melt flow rate is 12g/10min, measured at a load of 2.16 kilograms and a temperature of 230 °C, reflecting its flowability during processing.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Polypropylene (PP)
- Key Features:
- Stiffness & Hardness:Homopolymer offers higher rigidity than copolymer PP, suitable for load-resistant structural components.
- Heat Resistance:Maintains shape and properties at high temps, ideal for heat-exposed applications (consumer goods, auto parts).
- Dimensional Stability:Balanced properties ensure precise, consistent parts for tight-tolerance needs.
- Wide Use:Versatile material with good mechanical and processing properties for various end products.
Applications:
- Consumer Goods: Ideal for everyday items like caps and closures, thin-walled containers, food packaging, and household appliance components.
- Automotive: Suitable for a variety of interior and exterior non-structural parts, such as trim components, dashboards, and fluid reservoirs.
- Packaging: Widely used in packaging applications, including bottle caps, rigid containers, and cosmetic packaging, where a combination of stiffness and good moldability is required.
- Electrical & Electronics: Can be used for casings, connectors, and other components that require good insulation and a balanced set of mechanical properties.
