METTON® LMR Expanding Grade M1537-XXE Polymers

Chemical Family: Olefins

METTON® LMR Expanding Grade M1537-XXE Polymers are tough and durable engineering plastics (poly-DCPD). As an alternative to conventional materials like wood and metal, they provide component design flexibility with integrated functionality and part consolidation potential, akin to injection molding. The low-pressure molding process is ideal for producing large plastic parts used in heavy trucks, agriculture, construction, the military, and other industrial applications.
