- Chemical Family
- PolyolefinsPolypropylenes (PP)
Petkim PETOPLEN MH220N is a homopolymer polypropylene resin with medium molecular weight distribution. The material is formulated with advanced nucleating agent and specially developed for thermoforming applications where high transparency and gloss is required. Together with its excellent optical properties, PETOPLEN MH220N combines high stiffness/impact performance with very low shrinkage in end products.
