Product Description
FLEXATHENE TP 38NC01X01 is a polypropylene-ethylene copolymer formulated for film applications that require medium stiffness, excellent impact strength, and high heat resistance. The resin is produced in a proprietary gas-phase process that yields a product with greater physical properties and more uniform rubber dispersion than melt-blended rubber compounds.
