“MCP RP345S” is a polypropylene random copolymer with high fluidity and outstanding transparency and optical properties. “MCP RP345S” is the material of choice for applications where transparency and aesthetics are primary requirements. This grade is designed for injection molding and injection stretch blow molding (ISBM)applications. Thanks to its high fluidity, one can experience reduced cycle times and energy savings compared to conventional grades. “MCP RP345S” is suitable for the packaging of non-oxygen sensitive products; hence, it counts as an effective alternative for PVC and PET in ISBM.
