EP-C 40 R
EP-C 40 R
1 product description
E P-C 40 R is a heterophasic polypropylene copolymer
designed for injection moulding battery cases and technical
items
The product offers an excellent balance of mechanical
properties and processability and features an excellent
long-term heat-stability.
Articles moulded with EP-C 40 R offer a good balance of
stiffness and toughness, good surface properties and a
very high resistance to chemicals and crazing.
EP-C 40 R is largely used for automotive components.
Battery cases, cooling water compensation reservoirs,
brake fluid reservoirs, wash water reservoirs, dashboard
supports. luggage compartment trims and door trim panels
are typical applications.
In the electro-technical industries. EP-C 40 R is used for
appliances, cables and wires (e.g . as slotted core element
in fibre optic cables).
