01 Material Profile

material description

Metocene - in this case in combination with Pristene - is a type of PP (polypropylene), which is manufactured with the aid of a metallocene catalyst system.

Colour: natural Pristene RM2073

More than just the thickness of the material and its colour density, it is, above all, its abrasion-proof coating that makes this example stand out. Special abrasion-proof varnishes were applied to the plastic, after it had been activated in an atmospheric plasma pretreatment.

02 Technical Data

technical description

Advantages of Metocene:
- Great transparency and higher surface polish similar to that of PS, PC, PMMA, PETg
- The greater transparency means transparent dyes are also possible
- The material ceases to have a milky quality for lower wall strengths
- More even shrinkage and less distortion
- Improved dimensional stability, greater purity
- Additional energy savings thanks to lower melting temperature
- Better flowability and short cycle times
- Even lower emission levels thanks to far less low-molecular content
- Lower wall strength causes reduced cycle times
