ORIENTENE
is made by UNIPOL™ POLYPROPYLENE technology,
which combines the production efficiency of gas
phase fluidized bed reactors with the high activity
and
stereo specificity of SHAC
®
catalyst
system.
OPC
polypropylene Homopolymer products are classifed
in to four major categories, which include eight
different grades.
Petra
(The British accredited independent research and
consulting center)
for packaging and food contact materials tested
OPC PP grades and issued an official statement
on July 30, 2003 , announcing that the polypropylene
grades produced by Oriental Petrochemicals Co.
Polypropylene's
strong element and lightweight is it's versatility
for molded, extruded and films products. Lower density
/less material in part. Better heat resistance.
Good surface finish and gloss. Excellent stiffness.
Polypropylene is tailored to most plastic applications.
Simply it is Living Hinge.
Orientene
should not be stored for a prolonged period nor
exposed to direct sunlight and/or heating during
storage. This is due to the fact that may adversely
affect the properties of the product. It is recommended
to be stored in dry conditions at a temperature
below 50°C and protected from direct exposure
to sun light or UV light. Improper storage can initiate
degradation which will negatively affect the physical
properties of the product and may result in odour
generation and colour changes.
Orientene
is supplied in polyethylene bags of 25 kg (net weight)
each or laminated polypropylene jumbo bags of one
ton each. The bags are palletized, stacked and wrapped
with stretched film up to 1500 kg each (net weight).
The product is transported either via trucks or
exported in sea containers.
Under
normal conditions Orientene does not present a toxic
hazard through skin contact or inhalation. During
processing, contact with molten polymer and inhalation
of volatile fumes should be avoided.
Dust
and fines from the product carry a risk of dust
explosion. All equipment should be properly earthed.
Inhalation of dust should be avoided as it may cause
irritation of the respiratory system, proper ventilation
is therefore required.
