PP copolymers for recyclable containers

A new type of PP copolymer is said to provide toughness and rigidity for containers, trays, trays, etc. that require recycling. Phillips Sumika Polypropylene's Marlex ALN-070 offers faster cycle times and reduced warpage, thanks in part to Milliken Chemical's Hyperform HPN-68L nucleating agent. The PP has an Izod notched impact strength (-30°C) of 53.5 J/m, a flexural modulus of 1378 MPa, and an MFR of 7 g/10 min.
