Product Description
EP2X83CE is a clear polypropylene random copolymer particularly suited for blow moulding technology & single or multi-layer sheet extrusion .The product imparts excellent clarity & gloss and these characteristics may be further enhanced through orientation process (i.e. injection stretch blow moulding).Due to these properties EP2X83CE is an interesting alternative to P.V.C. for use in blow moulding ,sheet extrusion & thermoforming applications.

Blow moulding applications for EP2X83CE include bottle for detergents & toiletries, flat mineral water, fresh fruit juice & concentrates, jars for condiments & preserves. Extruded sheets made of EP2X83CE are widely used in stationary folders & thermoforming articles such as trays for fresh pasta, sweets or biscuits, fruit & vegetable containers & pots for dairy products.
* EP2X83CE is suitable for food contact.
