Product Description
20 MELT FLOW ULTRA HIGH IMPACT COPOLYMER FOR INJECTION MOLDING
Pinnacle Polymers Polypropylene 4220H is made via UNIPOL PP technology, which utilizes gas-phase fluidized bed reactors with a high
activity catalyst system to ensure uniform physical properties and lot-to-lot consistency.
This product is intended for injection molding of flooring, automotive, appliance, lawn and garden products, and industrial applications. Provides
an excellent base stock for compounding of filled and reinforced grades.
It is characterized by its easy mold flow and high impact at both room and sub-ambient conditions.
Pinnacle's 4220H polypropylene is covered under US FDA Food Contact Notification 864. As such, this polymer can be used in contact with all
food types under Conditions of Use A-H, as described in 21 CFR 176.170, Tables 1 and 2. This polymer also complies with 21 CFR 177.1520(c),
items 3.1(a) and 3.2(a).

A UL Yellow Card contains UL-verified flammability and electrical characteristics. UL IDES continually works to link Yellow Cards to individual
plastic materials in Prospector, however this list may not include all of the appropriate links. It is important that you verify the association between
these Yellow Cards and the plastic material found in Prospector. For a complete listing of Yellow Cards, visit the UL Yellow Card Search.
