ISPLEN® PB 176 N4M is a nucleated heterophasic copolymer that combines the impact strength of a conventional copolymer with the high stiffness level of a homopolymer as well as an excellent processability. At the same time, it exhibits a higher crystallisation temperature and a low shrinkage tendency.

ISPLEN® PB 176 N4M clearly outperforms standard products and allows the same application performance with a potential cost reduction for finished articles due to:

• Potential reduction of wall thickness.

• Shorter cooling time: higher mould opening temperatures.

• Can replace mineral filled or blends among polypropylenes.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
ISPLEN® PB 176 N4M performance profile expands the final application to broad and diverse goods: packaging (cylindrical containers for paints, leisure chemicals, pool maintenance products), food rounded containers, baskets, garden furniture, flowerpots, toys, trays and technical items for domestic appliances or automotive industries.

Recommended melt temperature range from 190 to 250°C. Processing conditions should be optimised for each production line.
