It boasts superior releasability and is one of the lightest polymer materials among thermoplastic plastics. Exhibits gas permeability, low refractive index, low dielectric property and high insulation properties equivalent to fluororesin. Possible applications include food containers, release film for FPC, rubber hoses and release paper for synthetic leather. It is also suitable for animal cage, resin modification, LED mold, experimental apparatuses and hollow fiber. Offers excellent chemical & steam resistance and high durability against acid, alkali and alcohol. It is applicable for processing by direct blow molding and extrusion by profile, mandrel, pipe and fiber spinning. Recommended for injection molding as well as T-Die casting extrusion. It is certified for food packaging materials by Japan Hygienic Olefin and Styrene Plastics Association as well as United States Code of Federal Regulations Title 21. TPX™ MX002O shows excellent transparency equivalent to glass and acrylic as well as high melting point and can be used at high temperature.
