′′Jampilen EPC40R′′ is a heterophasic polypropylene copolymer designed for injection moulding battery cases and technical items. The product offers an excellent balance of mechanical properties and processability and features an excellent long-term heat-stability. Articles moulded with ′′Jampilen EPC40R′′ offer a good balance of stiffness and toughness, good surface properties and a very high resistance to chemicals and crazing. ′′Jampilen EPC40R′′ is largely used for automotive components. Battery cases, cooling water compensation reservoirs, brake fluid reservoirs, wash water reservoirs, dashboard supports, luggage compartment trims and door trim panels are typical applications. In the electro- technical industries, ′′Jampilen EPC40R′′ is used for appliances, cables and wires (e.g. as slotted core element in fibre optic cables). ′′Jampilen EPC40R′′ is suitable for food contact.
