Product Advantages of Borouge HD168MO

  • High Stiffness and Structural Integrity. PP HD168MO provides a high level of rigidity supported by its elevated tensile and flexural modulus. This structural strength ensures reliable performance even in thin-wall or lightweight parts, allowing molded products to maintain the necessary load-bearing capability and dimensional consistency required in demanding applications.
  • Enhanced Crystallization and Shorter Cycle Times. Enabled by Borstar® nucleation technology, HD168MO exhibits a significantly faster crystallization rate compared with conventional polypropylene homopolymers. This accelerated crystallization contributes to quicker mold cooling and reduced injection molding cycle times, improving production efficiency and lowering overall processing costs for manufacturers.
  • Excellent Dimensional Stability. The resin offers outstanding dimensional stability, characterized by uniform shrinkage and high geometric precision. Molded parts can retain consistent dimensions even when colorants or additives are introduced, making the grade particularly suitable for multi-cavity molds and applications where strict dimensional control is essential.
  • Balanced Thermal and Mechanical Performance. HD168MO provides an optimized combination of mechanical strength and thermal resistance. Its high stiffness, competitive impact strength, high heat distortion temperature, and elevated crystallization temperature together ensure reliable performance in rigid packaging, household goods, and semi-technical components requiring both durability and heat stability.
  • Attractive Appearance and Surface Quality. The grade delivers low haze, high gloss, and smooth surface finishes, supported by its good melt flow behavior. These characteristics enhance the aesthetic appeal of molded products and make the material ideal for consumer goods, houseware items, and applications where visual quality is important.
  • Excellent Organoleptic and Chemical Resistance. Borouge HD168MO is designed to provide low odor and neutral taste, ensuring safety in consumer contact applications such as packaging containers and closures. In addition, its inherent polypropylene homopolymer chemical resistance offers protection against a wide range of substances, making it suitable for sanitary, household, and packaging components.

Typical Applications

  • Food containers, lunch boxes, and storage boxes.
  • Transparent houseware, such as cups, canisters, and drawers.
  • Thin-wall products requiring high transparency.
  • Healthcare and laboratory items.
  • Consumer goods and general injection-molded products.

Processing Advantages

  1. Fast Injection Molding Cycles. Due to its excellent flowability, HD168MO resin enables shorter cooling and molding times, improving production efficiency.
  2. Good Moldability. It supports a wide range of processing conditions, ensuring stable output and minimal defects such as warpage or sink marks.
  3. Consistent Quality. The resin is manufactured with strict quality control, ensuring stable batch-to-batch performance.
