Polypropylene Z9450

Technical Data Sheet

Random Copolymer-Heat Sealable Film Grade for Medical Use
Produced in the United States

Description
Polypropylene Z9450 is a low melting, high ethylene random copolymer with improved color, optics and impact
properties.

Heat Sealable: The very low melting point of Z9450 makes it an excellent heat seal layer for oriented films.

FDA: Z9450 is recommended for use in non-oriented film processes for manufacture of packaging films that require
improved optical and impact properties and as a heat seal layer for oriented films.

Recommended Applications: Z9450 is recommended for use in non-oriented film processes for manufacture of
packaging films that require improved optical and impact properties and as a heat seal layer for oriented films.
