Pro-fax PF511 radiation resistant, high melt flow, controlled rheology polypropylene homopolymer is available in pellet form. This resin is typically used in injection molding applications and offers retention of physical properties and color after radiation sterilization and good processability.

This resin resists yellowing and embrittlement after gamma radiation. However, since performance and appearance after radiation sterilization can be sensitive to design and processing choices, the users should verify performance in their application.

Our customers typically use this resin in applications such as medical devices, syringes, test tubes and blood vials.

For regulatory compliance information see Pro-fax PF511 Product Stewardship Bulletin (PSB).

Without exception, all potential activities for applications in the pharmaceutical, medical device, laboratory and diagnostics area have to be discussed with the relevant LyondellBasell Technical and Business contacts first.
