R40MLT-MG is highly transparent random copolymer resin containing anti-static agent. Produced using Spheripol® technology, this grade is a reactor grade (non-visbroken) with an exceptional advantage of having morphologically uniform resins, and intrinsically organoleptic-neutral (odorless) character. The ultra clear nucleation additive package also ensure excellent dimensional stability and potential for energy and cycle time savings. The high flow ability renders the grade suitable for thin walled injection molding application. Without exception, all potential activities for applications of this grade in the healthcare area have to be discussed with the relevant technical and business representative of NATPET. NATPET prohibits the use of this product in an implantable device that is introduced into the human body by surgical intervention and is intended to remain in place following surgical procedure.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Food Regulations
This product is defined as a preparation under specific food contact regulation. Detailed information will be provided in a relevant document “Regulatory Compliances Product Declaration (RCPD)’ upon request.
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling
If the resin is stored under adverse conditions, ie. if there are large fluctuations in ambient temperature and the atmospheric humidity is high, moisture may condense inside the packaging. Under these circumstances, it is recommended to dry the resin before use. Unfavorable storage conditions may also intensify the resin’s slight characteristic odor.
Polypropylene resin should be stored to prevent a direct exposure to sunlight (UV) and heat. Improper storage can initiate degradation. Therefore the resin must be protected from direct sunlight, temperatures above 40°C and high atmospheric humidity during storage. The resin can be stored over a period of more than 6 month without significant changes in the specified properties, appropriate storage conditions provided. Higher storage temperatures reduce the storage time. Please refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for handling and stor- age information.
