Description
Material Notes:
D118.01 Developmental Performance Polymer is a propylene-based resin intended for use in film, sheet extrusion and injection molding applications. Film and sheet produced from this resin offer improved stiffness, heat resistance, machinability, and toughness over competitive cast polypropylene films. Coextruded structures offer a broad range of potentially improved properties including high stiffness, good clarity and barrier properties.Excellent balance of clarity and stiffnessSuperior stiffness and heat resistance over conventional polypropylenesSuggested for use in cast film applications requiring improved stiffness, barrier or heat resistanceSuggested for use in injection molded articles requiring stiffness of a 20% mineral filled PPComplies with U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520(c) 1.1a, Europe EU-Directive 2002/72/ECDow Announced Sale of Global Polypropylene Business to Braskem in July 2011.
