Europe: Sabic adds PP grade material for rigid packaging

Sabic extends its Flowpact impact copolymers family with Sabic PP FPC70 Polypropylene solution for rigid packaging.

This high flow (MFR 70) impact copolymer grade based on a phthalate free catalyst is an injection-molding grade developed for applications such as containers, caps and closures in rigid packaging and for consumer goods.

It enables “up to 10% thinner walls and fast injection, thus reducing energy consumption and increasing productivity”, says Lada Kurelec, global business director PP for petrochemicals.

Rigid packaging made with Sabic PP FPC70 polymer, including applications that can be filled with hot content, has considerably higher top-load strength than identical products made with current benchmark materials. This in turn improves stackability, providing better economics in transport and storage.
