General Info
XtremeEPP™ 315 is a black, unreinforced, FDA complaint, high performance, advanced engineered thermoplastic offering excellent chemical resistance and dimensional stability at high temperatures. XtremeEPP™ 315 can be used continuously to 480°F (250°C) in hot water or steam without permanent loss in physical properties, and it’s extreme chemical resistance from highly aggressive acids to bases, makes it a high strength alternative to fluoropolymers. XtremeEPP™ 315 is ideal for components where aesthetics are important, as well as for seal components where ductility and chemical inertness are important.
