RI10HO 
 
INJECTION MOLDING 
 
RI10HO is a polypropylene ethylene random copolymer with good clarity, for housewares, containers, closures, plastic hanger, and general purpose injection molding applications. Where good impact properties is desired. This grade uses Unipol® polypropylene technology Union Carbide Corporation with the latest generation of catalyst.  
 
 
  • Good clarity & good flexibility
  • Better impact strength than homopolymer
  • Compliance with FDA regulation 21CFR177.1520
