Product Description
Formolene 5140H is a polypropylene homopolymer with fast cycle time and easy mold release.
It is designed for compression molded caps and closure applications. It contains a unique
combination of stabilizers, nucleators and antistats that provide an excellent balance of stiffness
and impact strength. Formolene 5140 H offers advantages in both processing and physical
properties over current polypropylenes used for compression molded caps and closures.
