Copolymers.


EX-2018, a copolymer copolymer: see polymer.  of ethylene and propylene propylene /pro·pyl·ene/ (pro´pi-len) a gaseous hydrocarbon, CH3CHdbondCH2.

propylene glycol  a colorless viscous liquid used as a humectant and solvent in pharmaceutical preparations.
, is described in the company's specification sheet. EX-2018 is designed for use in peroxide cured rubber products, sealants and adhesives, wire and cable, and TPO (Twisted Pair Only) Refers to the use of twisted pair wire when other options are available. For example, a TPO suffix at the end of 3com Ethernet adapter model numbers indicates the card has only an RJ45 connector.  blends. EX-2018 is also used as an olefin olefin (ō`ləfĭn) or olefin series: see alkene.

Any unsaturated hydrocarbon containing one or more pairs of carbon atoms linked by a double bond (see
 modifier. When blended with polypropylene, EX-2018 is said to impart low temperature flexibility, reduces stress whitening and improves impact resistance, according to the literature. EX-2018 is said to be easily colored and is compatible with most PE/PP color concentrates. The material is available in 1/4" diameter pellets.
