SABIC® PP PCGR40

PP random copolymer for Healthcare

Description: SABIC® PP grades for healthcare applications are produced under controlled conditions
resulting in high product quality, consistency and a high level of purity.

SABIC® PP PCGR40 is a highly transparent polypropylene random copolymer with good antistatic properties.
This grade combines improved aesthetics of the finished articles with low temperature processability and a
very good organoleptic performance. Part aesthetics are not affected by the lower temperatures, providing for
a broader operating window, enabling short cycle times. SABIC® PP PCGR40 results in excellent demoulding
characteristics and has a good stiffness to impact ratio.

Typical applications: SABIC® PP PCGR40 is typically used for injection moulding of housings for empty
disposable 3-part syringes. Other applications demanding a high level of transparency and broad processing
window are also possible.

Compliance to regulations: SABIC® PP PCGR40 complies with the food contact regulations and the
relevant monographs of the US Pharmacopoeia.
