--In order to investigate the stability of VP101T, we designed

an experiment by using DSC.

--Scan PP sample 9 times to simulate the process of PP.

--The scan process include:

1.Heating from 50℃ to 210 ℃ at 50 ℃/min.

2.Staying at 210 ℃ for 3min.

3.Cooling from 210 ℃ to 50 ℃ at 10 ℃/min.

4.Stay at 50 ℃ for 1min.

5.Heating from 50 ℃ to 210 ℃ at 10 ℃/min.

--The result shows that even experienced scan for 9 times,

VP101T can still form βcrystallization efficiently and the

ability is almost as same as the first time.

VP101T IS QUITE STABLE!
