Clarified Pp Takes Aim At PET Packaging Applications

Petrothene PP33HF04 is a clarified random polypropylene copolymer for extrusion and injection blow molded packaging, developed as a less-expensive alternative to PET. Thanks to its narrow molecular-weight distribution, the resin is said to offer excellent warp resistance, precise and consistent shrinkage, and a good balance between stiffness and toughness. Chemically-resistant, it meets U.S. FDA food-contact requirements. Equistar Chemicals, 1221 McKinney, Houston, TX 77253 www.equistarchem.com
