BB125MO
Polypropylene Heterophasic Copolymer for Sheet

Description
BB125MO is a low melt flow rate polypropylene heterophasic copolymer intended for sheet extrusion. It
features an extremely good processability with improved melt strength, and a good melt stability. As all
polypropylenes, it shows excellent stress crack resistance and is resistant to chemicals.

BB125MO is characterised by a very high stiffness without any loss in the impact strength, even at low
temperatures. BB125MO has very good organoleptic properties and can be combined with any colour
masterbatch without discolouring problems.

Applications
BB125MO is especially recommended for production of corrugated board.
