EP1 X 30 F is a slightly modified polypropylene random copolymer for the production of cast and water-quenched blown film. EP1 X 30 F is formulated with a general purpose package and does not contain any slip or antiblock agents. EP1 X 30 F is designed for quality packaging applications, either as monolayer film or as welding layer on coextruded structures. The product offers excellent processability. high clarity and gloss and good heat weldabilrty. The seal initiation temperature is about 136*C. Because of its good heat weldabilrty, EP1 X 30 F is well suited for lamination to bioriented polypropylene films or other materials to form a welding layer. Film produced with EP1 X 30 F is particularly suited for packaging of foodstuffs such as sweets, pasta, biscuits and snacks and for the packaging of books. stationery, blankets, shirts and hosiery. EP1 X 30 F is furthermore suitable for injection moulding caps and closures.
