Description

According to the scientific literature, Polyolefin Plastomers are mostly Copolymers of Ethylene and 1-Octene.

  • POPs with a density of 0.88 to 0.91g/cm3 have a melting temperature of 80 to 100°C.
  • POP in a density range from 0.88 to 0.905 g/cm3 have a content of 1-Octene Comonomer from 29 to 17 wt-%
  • A POP with density of 0.898 g/cm3 comprises 20 wt-% of 1-Octene Comonomer.
