the capacities of the producer are 900,000 tons/annum of a wide range of Polypropylene (PP) grades with premium quality, based on the prestigious Spheripol technology and under the brand name of the “NPC”. RGE is capable of supply more than 100 grades of polypropylene homopolymer, random copolymer, heterophasic (impact) copolymer and terpolymer targeting all polypropylene applications within the global market.
This well-balanced product portfolio of grades will strongly facilitate a selection from a list of products for a customer that suits their special application. Besides the general additives, some grades are available bearing special additive packages such as antistatic, slip, antiblock, nucleating agent, clarifier, etc to meet the needs of the customers’ individual applications and remove the demands for incorporating specialty masterbatches to satisfy the required characteristics.
PP Homopolymers
The grades of homopolymer produced by NPC are available in a wide range of melt flow, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and stiffness which provide diverse features of processability, mechanical, and thermal properties. Imperial Energy homopolymers offer optimum performance for injection molding (automotive parts, thin wall articles, caps, and closures, etc), blow molding, film (BOPP, cast, blown), fiber (CF, BCF, monofilament, nonwoven, staple, raffia, etc), extrusion (sheet, pipe, profile), and thermoforming applications.
Random Copolymers and Terpolymers
Polypropylene random copolymers are produced through the polymerization of propylene with ethylene and/or 1-butene mers introduced into the polymer chain. Random copolymers and terpolymers bear superior optical and aesthetic characteristics. Typical applications include transparent packaging, injection molding (thin wall items, housewares, appliances), blow molding, film (cast, BOPP, Blown), pipe, and thermoforming.
Heterophasic (impact) Copolymers
Polypropylene heterophasic copolymers are created by introducing a heterogeneous structure inside a semi-crystalline PP homopolymer matrix that yields a material with prominent low-temperature behavior, high-impact strength and improved stiffness in a wide range of melt viscosities. Typical customer applications include thick extruded sections, pipe extrusion, film applications, thermoforming, and injection molding (caps and closures, pails, thin wall articles, and automotive applications including bumper, under the bonnet, HVAC system, battery cases).
