TPX™ MX004

Technical Datasheet | Supplied by Mitsui Chemicals
TPX™ MX004 by Mitsui Chemicals is a medium modulus, low density, heat resistant polymethylpentene. Offers excellent chemical & steam resistance and high durability against acid, alkali and alcohol. Recommended for injection molding as well as extrusion processing by T-Die casting, profile, mandrel and pipe. It is also applicable for processing by direct blow molding and extrusion by fiber spinning. 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. It boasts superior releasability and is one of the lightest polymer materials among thermoplastic plastics. Possesses excellent transparency equivalent to glass and acrylic as well as high melting point and can be used at high temperature. TPX™ MX004 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.
