Description: Pro-fax PF814 high melt strength polypropylene homopolymer resin is designed for the production of low density foam product using most conventional direct gassed foam extrusion equipment. Its unique rheological behavior supports stable foam cell growth during expansion with commercially available physical blowing agents. It may be blended with conventional polypropylene depending on the desired degree of density reduction. In such cases, fully homogeneous blending capability is necessary to assure uniform cell formation. This resin meets FDA requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations in 21 CFR 177.520 for all food contact, including cooking applications. All ingredients meet the chemical registration requirements of TSCA and DSL.
