POLY(PROPYLENE-CO-ETHYLENE)

Chemical Properties

solid

Uses

Injection molded thin-walled parts.

Production Methods

EPM is made by copolymerizing ethylene and propylene. The monomers may or may not be combined with a third or even fourth monomer to provide olefinic sites along the backbone. Olefinic sites improve cross-linking response with peroxides and permit direct sulfur cure.
