DuPure R 87 E is a polypropylene homopolymer fiber grade (produced with a phthalate-free catalyst), characterized by a narrow/medium molecular weight distribution and a medium crystallinity, providing excellent and consistent process and product behavior. DuPure R 87 E is particularly suitable for the production of fine denier staple fibers, mediumtenacity continuous filaments (CF), and high-resilience bulked continuous filaments (BCF). The product comprises an advanced phenol free stabilizer package, providing superior gas fading resistance and inherent basic UV stability.
