LyondellBasell Purell RP320M polypropylene resin

LyondellBasell has introduced Purell RP320M, a polypropylene (PP) random copolymer that can be used in caps and closures, labware, flexible and rigid packaging of medical devices and pharmaceuticals. The product offers good clarity and homogeneity to meet high-quality requirements in cast film extrusion conversion and injection-moulding technologies.

The resin exhibits low gels content, which contributes to end applications that require optical properties such as gloss, transparency, surface smoothness, planarity and tear resistance. It can achieve good sealing properties in film structures and its rheology behaviour offers good processability for injection-moulded applications. It does not contain slip or antiblocking additives and it is manufactured using a non-phthalate-based catalytic system.

The PP grade is backed by LyondellBasell’s Purell Service Concept for healthcare applications, which offers consistency of formulation, continuity of supply, single sourcing and compliance to regulatory requirements.
