Stiff, tough, clear PP for rigid packaging.Two specially tailored polypropylenes are said to provide a much-needed combination of stiffness, toughness, and clarity for rigid packaging. Newly available from Dow Chemicals' North American North American named after North America. North American blastomycosis see North American blastomycosis. North American cattle tick see boophilusannulatus. Plastics Business in Houston, Inspire 117 and 404 are said to fall outside the traditional PP homopolymer or copolymer copolymer: see polymer. categories. Designed for extrusion blow molding, Inspire 117 is a 2.1 MFR MFR, n See myofascial release. resin that is said to provide a previously unavailable balance of strength and clarity. It boasts improved stiffness/ toughness balance vs. clarified random copolymers and offers lightweighting potential. It said to be well suited to hot-fill syrups, ketchup, and fruit juices. Inspire 404 (3 MFR) is a clear, stiff resin for thermoforming drink cups, deli and take-out Take-out A cash surplus generated by the sale of one block of securities and the purchase of another, e.g., selling a block of bonds at 99 and buying another block at 95. Also, a bid made to a seller of a security that is designed (and generally agreed) to take the seller out of containers, and lids. Its clarity is said to be comparable to amorphous PET (APET APET Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate APET Accident Progression Event Tree APET Algorithms Program Evaluation Tool APET Adaptable Performance Evaluation Testbed APET Australasian Perpetual Equity Trust APET Avionics Post-mission Evaluation Team ) and blends of crystal PS and styrene-butadiene copolymer. Its higher stiffness than conventional PP homopolymer is said to allow for thinwalling. Tel: (800) 441-4369 * www.dow.com
