Formosa Plastics Formolene® 5143S Homopolymer Polypropylene

Homopolymer for Extrusion Sheet and Thermoforming Applications Formolene® 5143S is a higher melt flow homopolymer designed for light weighting of components. Its very high stiffness enables reduction of side walls and component weights without loss of top loading strength. It permits faster cycle times both in the extrusion and forming phases which can result in better process efficiencies. It is an excellent choice for ‘see-through’ house wares and rigid packaging. Formolene® 5143S has been formulated without components containing animal derivatives. Formolene® 5143S 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
