Formosa Plastics Formolene® 5143C Homopolymer Polypropylene

Homopolymer for Extrusion Sheet and Thermoforming Applications Formolene® 5143C is a polypropylene homopolymer designed for sheet and thermoforming applications, which require exceptional clarity. It contains a unique combination of stabilizers, nucleators and anti-stats that give it an excellent balance of stiffness and impact strength. Formolene® 5143C offers advantages in processing over other polypropylenes used for thermoforming, including a broad forming window and fast setup time. It has been created for applications requiring higher clarity and lower haze than the 5143H grade offered by Formosa. Formolene® 5143C meets all 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 D4101Information provided by Formosa Plastics Corporation, USA
