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: amber 9858 Cleartint Pristene RM2073
This example shows the high-quality surface textures of Metocene. The illustration shows synthetic leather textures together with a coarse circular grid pattern.

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
