Technical Data

Product Description
BE961MO is a heterophasic copolymer. This grade is characterized by an optimum combination of high stiffness, low creep and very high impact
strength.
 
This grade uses Borealis Nucleation Technology (BNT) to increase productivity by cycle time reduction. BNT in combination with excellent
stiffness and good flow properties creates a high potential for wall-thickness reduction. Products originating from this grade have very good
demoulding properties, well-balanced mechanical properties, excellent dimension consistency with respect to different colors and good
organoleptic properties.
