540-CA13
a new generation of high impact copolymer polypropylene
540-CA13
540-CA13 is a high impact copolymer polypropylene
grade recommended for injection moulding of
luggage, crates and boxes as well as for the production of compounds. This new grade offers a unique
set of mechanical properties which were specifically
designed to give very high levels of impact resistance
at low temperatures.

To satisfy the ever increasing demands of the returnable transport packaging market, the grade
has been especially designed to offer:
· Exceptional levels of impact performance especially at low service temperatures
· Excellent creep resistance coupled with good stiffness to give superior crate stacking stability
· Excellent dimensional stability and low warpage.
· Increased crystallization temperature for potential reductions in mould cooling times
