Total PPR 8573 Polypropylene, Film Extrusion Grade
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polypropylene (PP); Polypropylene, Film Grade
Material Notes:	Random copolymer heat sealable film grade Color/Clarity/Impact - FINA 8573 is a low melting, high ethylene random copolymer with improved color, optics and impact properties. Heat Sealable - The low melting point of FINA 8573 makes it a very good heat seal layer for oriented films. Slip/Antiblock - FINA 8573 is available with custom slip and antiblock packages. FDA - FINA 8573 complies with FDA regulations Title 21 CFR Section 177.1520(c) 3.1 and may be used under these provisions for food contact and applications. Recommended Applications - FINA 8573 is recommended for use in non- oriented cast film processes for manufacture of packaging films that require improved optical and impact properties and as a heat seal layer for oriented films. Processing - FINA 8573 resin processes on film extrusion equipment with typical melt temperatures of 390- 450°F (199-232°C). Data provided by the manufacturer, Total Petrochemicals. Total Petrochemicals acquired former Fina and Atofina plastics product lines.
