Product Description
Random Copolymer for Storage Boxes, Pill Vials and Containers

Formolene® 3312B is a medium melt flow random copolymer with fast cycle time and easy mold release. It is designed for injection molding applications. Its clarity makes it an excellent choice for "see-through" housewares and rigid packaging.

Formolene® 3312B meets all requirements of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration as specified in 21 CFR 177.1520, covering safe use of polyolefin articles and components of articles intended for direct food contact.
