Braskem INSPIRE™ 404 Performance Polypropylene Polymer
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polypropylene (PP); Polypropylene, Sheet/Thermoforming Grade
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 Characteristics Contains a nucleating agent Excellent balance of stiffness and clarity Superior heat resistance over conventional polypropylene Complies with U.S. FDA 21 CFR 117.1520(c)3.2a (with Restrictions) Canadian HPFB No Obligation This product line was spun off from Dow Chemical to Braskem
