- Product Highlights
- REDUCED CYCLE TIME: Faster fusion, compacting and crystallization allows for reduced cycle times or lower oven temperatures.
- REDUCED WEIGHT / BETTER DISTRIBUTION: Improved wall thickness control resulting from Microcene’s excellent flow properties holds out the prospect of weight reduction.
- BROADER PROCESSING CHARACTERISTICS: Less variation in color and impact properties at different cycle times is particularly helpful to the molder running a range of tools on multi-arm machines. Consistency of impact performance on ‘under-cooked’ or ‘overcooked’ parts of the same molding is another benefit of Metallocene technology.
- IMPROVED MECHANICAL PROPERTIES: The narrower molecular weight distribution compared to other linear copolymers gives improved impact resistance, lower warpage, better creep resistance and better definition / smoothness of inner and outer surface finishes.
