Product Description
Formolene 2306A is a copolymer of polypropylene designed and formulated for compression molded caps and closure applications. It contains a unique combination of stabilizers, nucleators and antistats that give it an excellent balance of stiffness and impact strength. Formolene 2306A offers advantages in both processing and physical properties over current polypropylenes used for compression molded caps and closures.
