The increase in impact strength, measured at room temperature and at -20 °C, with the addition of elastomer in the copolymers. The copolymers show impact strength superior to the homopolymer, due the presence of ethylene, which reduces the copolymer crystallinity and improves its toughness.

Copolymers -

High impact resistance strength
• Better resistance to cracking at
   low temperatures than other
   materials
• More pliable than homopolymer
• Meets food handling guidelines
• Chemical- and corrosion-
   resistant
• No moisture absorption

Homopolymers -

• Appropriate for applications to
180°F (82°C)
• Resists most acids, alkalis and
solvents
• Meets FDA 21CFR 177.1520
• Thermoforming performance
• Meets USDA guidelines for use in
federally inspected meat and poultry
packing facilities
• Chemical- and corrosion-resistant
• No moisture absorption

This crystalline material is noted for its high strength-to-weight ratio,

excellent chemical resistance and high performance in thermoforming and corrosive environments.
