PP Random Copolymer Injection — Polypropylene Random Copolymer for Injection Molding
Random copolymers of propylene have monomer units distributed randomly along the polymer chain. This results in improved clarity, flexibility, and a lower melting point, making them ideal for clear food packaging, shrink films, and applications requiring good aesthetics and sealability.
