Typical Properties (Representative Values):

Please note that specific values may vary slightly depending on the exact production batch and testing conditions. Always refer to the official Technical Data Sheet (TDS) from LyondellBasell for the most accurate and up-to-date information for this specific grade.

• Melt Flow Rate (MFR) (230°C / 2.16 kg): 25 – 35 g/10 min (ISO 1133)
• Density: ~0.90 – 0.91 g/cm³ (ISO 1183)
• Tensile Strength @ Yield: 30 – 35 MPa (ISO 527-1, 2)
• Flexural Modulus: 1400 – 1800 MPa (ISO 178)
• Notched Izod Impact Strength (23°C): 2.0 – 4.0 kJ/m² (ISO 180/1A)
• Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) (1.8 MPa): ~95 – 105 °C (ISO 75-2)
• Vicat Softening Temperature (A/50): ~145 – 150 °C (ISO 306)

Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding – General):

• Drying: Generally not required for polypropylene, but proper storage to prevent moisture absorption is recommended.
• Melt Temperature: 190 – 230 °C (optimize based on machine type, mold design, and part thickness).
• Mold Temperature: 20 – 50 °C (higher mold temperatures can improve surface finish and reduce internal stress).
• Injection Speed: High, to ensure good mold filling, especially for thin-walled parts, and to reduce cycle times.
• Holding Pressure: Optimized to prevent sink marks and ensure dimensional accuracy.

Packaging & Storage:

Moplen HP500N is typically supplied in 25 kg bags or bulk containers. For optimal product quality and to prevent contamination, store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep packaging sealed until ready for use.
