Overview
EPOLENE® N-15P is a low molecular weight polypropylene homopolymer that has been powdered. It is commonly used as a pigment dispersing aid in color masterbatch, plastic fibers, and toner compounds. It is also used as a resin or modifying resin in barrier coatings that require good water resistance. EPOLENE® N-15P can be easily blended with parrafin wax in order to improve blocking, scuff and abrasion resistance of the wax.
