Product Description
EP2X83CI is a polypropylene random copolymer with excellent flow properties .The product features very high transparency & gloss. EP2X83CI is mainly designed for transparent house wares & quality packaging applications. EP2X83CI is an outstanding grade for injection moulded containers & thin-walled packaging where clarity is of utmost importance.

Typical injection moulding applications include food storage containers, household articles, food packaging, cosmetics & pharmaceutical products, lids, caps & closures .In many of these applications, EP2X83CI can replace PS since it can match optical properties whilst adding low weight, low odour transfer, chemical resistance & impact strength. Another major application of EP2X83CI is the co-extrusion with other polypropylene resins to produce multilayer sheet for thermoforming trays for fresh pasta & bakery products.

* EP2X83CI is suitable for food contact.
