Description
Material Notes:
INSPIRE 404 Performance Polymer is a propylene-based resin intended for use in thermoforming applications where exceptional stiffness, clarity and heat resistance is desired. The high stiffness of the resin may allow for the potential to down gauge and reduce part weight. The product is well suited for thin wall containers, serviceware and closure applications such as clear drink cups, deli containers, take-out containers, bowls and clear lids.Main CharacteristicsContains a nucleating agentExcellent balance of stiffness and claritySuperior heat resistance over conventional polypropyleneComplies with U.S. FDA 21 CFR 117.1520(c)3.2a (with Restrictions)Canadian HPFB No ObligationThis product line was spun off from Dow Chemical to Braskem
