Product Description
TAFMER™ XM is a superior, low crystalline copolymer of propylene and alpha-olefin which is perfect for biaxially oriented polypropylene (PP) and cast film sealant as well as a resin modifier for polyolefins. TAFMER XM is developed with Metallocene catalyst. The material has excellent low temperature sealability, good sealing performance in a wide temperature range and good anti-blocking properties. As a heat seal layer for OPP film, TAFMER XM is an excellent package sealer for chocolates, cookies and crackers among other items. In addition, the low temperature shrink characteristics of PP can be improved with TAFMER XM.
