Formolene 2706N Formosa Plastics Polypropylene Copolymer

Product Description

Formolene® 2706N is a copolymer of polypropylene designed and formulated for injection molding applications. It contains a unique combination of stabilizers, nucleators and antistats, which give it an excellent balance of stiffness and impact strength. Formolene 2706N offers advantages in both processing and physical properties for applications including pails, crates and other Material Handling.

Formolene® 2706N complies with the U. S. Food and Drug Administration regulation 21 CFR 177.1520(c)(3.4). This material may only be used in contact with foods of type I, II, III, IV-B, VI, VII, VIII and IX as described in Table 1 of 21 CFR 176.170(c)
