SABIC QR6701K is a random copolymer polypropylene (PP) from SABIC, specifically designed for high-clarity thermoforming and extrusion applications.
Physical Properties
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Polypropylene (PP)
- Key Features & Characteristics:
- Exceptional Transparency and Clarity: This material offers a superior, crystal-clear appearance, which is crucial for applications where visual appeal and product visibility are key.
- Low Stress Whitening: It is formulated to resist stress whitening, meaning it maintains its transparent appearance even when bent or stressed, a valuable characteristic for packaging and containers.
- Good Stiffness and Heat Resistance: The material provides a good balance of rigidity and heat resistance. It can withstand elevated temperatures, making it suitable for hot-fill and microwaveable applications.
- Excellent Processability: With a medium melt flow rate, this grade is easy to process on standard thermoforming and extrusion equipment, allowing for the production of consistent, high-quality products.
Applications:
The combination of excellent transparency, low stress whitening, and good heat resistance makes SABIC QR6701K ideal for a variety of clear, thermoformed, and extruded products.
- Food containers and trays: Perfect for transparent food packaging that requires a clear, glossy look and the ability to withstand heat for hot-fill or microwaveable use.
- Transparent cups: Its clarity and resistance to stress whitening make it a great choice for clear drinking cups.
- Household goods: Suitable for clear storage boxes 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 other lab items.
