Main application & Characteristics:

 

Moplen HP550J is a polypropylene homo-polymer particularly suitable for the extrusion of sheet for thermoforming, film yarn & monofilament. Moplen HP550J combines outstanding process ability with good mechanical properties. Moplen HP550J is designed to produce stiff sheet for high quality thermoforming such as vending cups, packaging for dairy products & trays for fruit, biscuits & chocolates.

Moplen HP550J is also particularly suitable to produce film yarn, with both cast & tubular processes. Textile film yarns with a denier count of not more than 1100 to 1200 are used for the production of carpet backings, bags, industrial fabrics, mats & artificial grass .Film yarn with a denier count ranging from 3000 to 28000 is used for baler twines, packaging twines & ropes. Moplen HP550J is also well suited for the production of monofilament used for instance for brush & broom filling & technical applications.

Another typical application of Moplen HP550J is the extrusion of nets for various purposes. Moplen HP550J is suitable for food contact.
