NOVIS™ P-490

NOVIS P-490 is an Isotactic low molecular weight polypropylene with enhanced flow properties. Melting point and most of its mechanical properties are similar to conventional PP. It is its low molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution which impart NOVIS P-490 high melt flow rate.

Packaging Information

NOVIS specialty polymers are supplied in pre-dried form in 25 Kg (55 lbs) PE lined, HD woven sack-laminated paper bags and 750 Kg (1650 lbs) FIBC's.. They should be stored in cool and dry place.

Processing Conditions

NOVIS P-490 can be processed on its own in melt blown and spun bond PP non-woven products.; It is used as an additive in polymer processing and compounding.; Addition level depends on flow enhancement needed.; Upto 5% addition to the base composition does not significantly change mechanical properties, while improving processability.; The known processing parameters of the base polymer serve as basic guideline, but the actual processing conditions vary according to the chosen addition levels of NOVIS.; For all practical purposes, thermal stability of NOVIS P-490 is of the same order as that of conventional PP.
