Product Description
PAXOTHENE NA208 having excellent melt flow characteristic, high gloss, good toughness and stiffness, is especially used for injection molding applications requiring excellent appearance, medium toughness and stiffness, such as housewares, toys, Christmas light sockets or main stems of plastic trees, etc. The resin's excellent melt flow characteristics permit short cycle time for economical moldings. PAXOTHENE NA208 can also be ground into powder for coating. PAXOTHENE NA208 meets the requirements of the U.S. Food Drug Administration regulation. It can be safely use for food application.
