TPX™ DX310

by Mitsui Chemicals

TPX™ DX310 by Mitsui Chemicals is a low modulus polymethylpentene having low density. Exhibits gas permeability, low refractive index, low dielectric property and high insulation properties equivalent to fluororesin. It boasts superior releasability and is one of the lightest polymer materials among thermoplastic plastics. Offers excellent chemical & steam resistance and high durability against acid, alkali and alcohol. Recommended for processing by extrusion coating. 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. TPX™ DX310 shows excellent transparency equivalent to glass and acrylic as well as high melting point and can be used at high temperature.
