Formosa Plastics Formolene® 4100P Injection Molding Polypropylene
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polypropylene (PP); Polypropylene, Molded
Material Notes:	Homopolymer with ESCR Additives Applications: Closures, small appliances, housewares and toys. Formolene 4100P is a low viscosity, highly isotactic polypropylene homopolymer designed for various injection molded applications such as closures, small appliances, housewares and toys. It contains a unique combination of stabilizers which give it excellent processability with good stiffness, environmental stress crack resistance, heat performance and minimal odor and taste. Meets all requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as specified in 21 CFR 177.1520, covering safe use of polyolefin 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.
