VERSIFY 2300 Dow Thermoplastic Polyolefin Elastomer

Product Description

VERSIFY™ 2300 Elastomer generates the optimum performance balance for blown stretch hoods - the wrapping that ensures the integrity of goods pallets being stored and transported.

It provides excellent elasticity and good holding force at equal or better cost than competitor solutions. The film improves pallet stability, delivers better tear resistance and makes recycling and disposal much simpler.

The grade is also ideally suited to a range of calendering and extruded applications and as a blend component for thermoplastic elastomers.

Complies with:

U.S. FDA FCN 909

U.S. FDA 21 CFR 175.105(c)(5)

EU, No 10/2011
