Formosa Plastics Formolene® 3355E Random Copolymer Polypropylene
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polypropylene (PP); Polypropylene Copolymer
Material Notes:	Random Copolymer for Containers, Totes and Bins, and Closures Formolene® 3355E is a high melt flow random copolymer with fast cycle time and good mold and denesting release. It is designed for injection molding including thin wall applications. The use of an advanced clarifier with low yellowness index and haze – makes it an excellent choice for ‘see-through’ housewares and rigid packaging. Use of this clarifier allows processers to run at lower temperatures - resulting in the potential for cycle time reductions and energy savings Formolene® 3355E meets the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as specified in 21 CFR 177.1520, covering safe use of polyolefin articles and components of articles intended for direct food contact. Specimens were injection molded according to the conditions specified in ASTM D4101 Information provided by Formosa Plastics Corporation, USA
