Product Description
"Hifax" Ca 02 A is a thermoplastic polyolefin made by Basell proprietary technology, which has been developed for extrusion, calendering and blow moulding of very soft film and sheet.

Thanks to its extremely high rubber content, "Hifax" CA 02 A features outstanding low stiffness, excellent low hardness and good impact resistance.

"Hifax" CA 02 A shows as well high compatibility to fillers and to flame retardant agencies as other polyolefins.

The grade is available in natural pellets.

The polymer meets the FDA standard 21 CFR 177.2600 (rubber articles for repeated use). The final item is subject to the extraction tests according to the FDA specifications in FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 (d), (e), (f).
