Product Description
Formolene 2804A is a RTPO made with the latest gas phase technology containing approximately 25% ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR). It exhibits an excellent balance of physical and thermodynamic properties which make it an ideal choice for critical applications in the areas of automotive, appliances, lawn & garden, medical, and rigid packaging. It exhibits outstanding cold temperature impact resistance and ESCR coupled with a good balance of flexural and tensile strength. Ease of processability and recyclability along with a broad service temperature range make it ideal for applications where engineering thermoplastics or compounded homopolymer/EPDM blends are used.
