“MCP EP548R” is a nucleated, antistatic formulated, high fluidity heterophasic copolymer used for thin walled injection molding. Items made with “MCP EP548R” exhibit high stiffness, relatively good impact resistance and excellent antistatic properties. Due to its excellent moldability and short cycle times, “MCP EP548R” allows high productivity rates. The finished items show good mechanical properties, and high dimensional stability. “MCP EP548R” is very well suited for the production of thin-wall articles or articles with long flow paths such as flower pots, containers, housewares, filters, filter housings and appliance components. “MCP EP548R” is suitable for food contact.
