TPX® Engineering Plastic
TPX® is a 4-methylpentene-1 based polyolefin with a unique combination of transparency, heat and chemical resistant qualities. TPX is used in a wide variety of applications, including: medical equipment, laboratory ware, small appliances, ovenware, baking cartons, release paper, wire and cable coating, and a number of industrial uses.

Excellent heat resistance-With a melting point of 240°C (480°F) and a high Vicat softening point, TPX® lends itself to applications involving high service temperatures.
Outstanding transparency -TPX has a visible light transmittance of 90 percent and is superior in transmittance in the ultraviolet region than glass and other transparent resins.
TPX has exceptional electrical insulating properties with a dielectric constant that is the lowest among all known synthetic resins.
Low specific gravity -The density of TPX is the lowest of all commercially available thermoplastics at 0.83g/cm³
Outstanding chemical resistance
TPX is highly resistant to most organic and inorganic commercial chemicals.
