Overview
POP is the standard grade of the POP family in the elastomers group. It is used in applications such as heat-seal layer in flexible packaging, impact-resistant film, foam and flexible injection parts. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.
Typical properties
| Property | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Density | 0,87–0,91 g/cm³ |
| Melting point | 95–120 °C |
| Hardness | 85–95 Shore A |
| Elongation at break | %600–1.000 |
Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.
Applications
- Heat-seal layer in flexible packaging
- Impact-resistant film
- Foam and flexible injection parts
- Impact modifier

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for POP are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
