Hifax CA 387 A is a reactor TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) manufactured using LyondellBasell's proprietary Catalloy process technology. It has high melt flow and an excellent balance of impact, stiffness, processability and paintability. Hifax CA 387 A is primarily used for painted automotive bumper fascias that require high durability, and for other injection molded parts with paintable and weatherable requirements. It is also utilized as a component in compounded materials for a wide range of industrial applications. The grade is available in natural pellet form.
