LOTTE SM198 is a random copolymer polypropylene (PP) from Lotte Chemical, specifically designed for injection molding applications.
Physical Properties
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Polypropylene (PP)
- Key Features & Characteristics:
- High Transparency and Clarity: This material offers superior clarity and a high-gloss finish, making it an excellent choice for products where visual appeal is crucial.
- Exceptional Flowability: With a very high melt flow rate, it can easily fill complex, intricate, and thin-walled molds. This allows for faster cycle times and increased production efficiency for high-volume manufacturing.
- Good Heat Resistance: The material has a high Vicat softening point, which makes it suitable for applications that need to withstand elevated temperatures, such as microwaveable food containers and hot-fill applications.
- Good Mechanical Properties: It provides a good balance of stiffness and impact strength, ensuring that finished parts are both rigid and resistant to breakage.
Applications:
The combination of excellent transparency, high flowability, and good heat resistance makes LOTTE SM198 ideal for a wide range of clear, thin-walled, and heat-resistant products.
- Food containers: Used for transparent food containers and lids that require good heat resistance for hot-fill or microwaveable applications.
- Disposable tableware: The high flow rate allows for the fast production of disposable cups, containers, and cutlery.
- 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.
