| A high fluidity (MFI 80 g/10 min) random copolymer, the new PPR 12232 grade has been specifically developed for the injection moulding of transparent containers. With this innovative grade, Total Petrochemicals aptly fulfils the specific requirements of food packaging container manufacturers.
Food compatibility, odour neutrality
The PPR 12232 grade has been specially designed to fulfill the organoleptic expectations of manufacturers of food packaging. Total Petrochemicals has developed comprehensive technological know-how as well as new formulations in this field with the aim of significantly reducing the odour impact of the resins.
Shorter production cycles, energy and maintenance savings
The PPR 12232 high fluidity copolymer features particularly low viscosity at high shear rates. For converters, this innovative grade offers countless benefits: Studies conducted at the development stage show that its lower injection temperature generates a significant reduction in the moulding cycle (heating / cooling). Replacing MFI 40g/10min by MFI 80g/10min can therefore produce a 30% reduction in the production cycle .The combined effect of shorter heating and cooling times during the production cycle affords significant energy savings. The possibility of producing mouldings at lower pressures extends the lifetime of moulds and injection moulding machines. This grade’s excellent injection condition in multi-cavity moulds optimizes the moulding operation. Meanwhile, the high fluidity of PPR 12232 helps reducing wall thickness to a minimum. Compared to other resins, this new grade yields the dual benefit of improved profitability and superior end -result.
Lower investment costs
For the same result, a lower injection pressure allows the moulding of intricately shaped containers with less sophisticated and smaller machines.
