Formosa Plastics Formolene® 3455E Polypropylene Random Copolymer
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polypropylene (PP); Polypropylene Copolymer
Material Notes:	Product Description: Formolene® 3455E is a high melt flow random copolymer with fast cycle time and easy mold release. It is designed for injection molding including thin wall applications requiring a higher level of impact resistance. Its clarity and low yellow index makes it an excellent choice for ‘see-through’ house wares and rigid packaging. Formolene® 3455E meets the requirements of the US FDA as specified in 21 CFR 177.1520 covering safe use of polyolefin articles and components of articles intended for direct food contact. Availability: North America Features: Fast Molding Cycle; Food Contact Acceptable; Good Clarity; Good Mold Release; High Flow; High Impact Resistance Uses: Containers; Household Goods; Packaging; Transparent Parts Agency Ratings: FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 Processing Method: Injection Molding Information provided by Formosa Plastic Corporation
