Polymethylpentene pmp or tpx labware polymethylpentene is classified as a polyolefin and is a high molecular weight hydrocarbon.
Pmp plastic sheet.
Tpx pmp engineering plastic overview of tpx pmp engineering plastic tpx polymethylepentene is a lightweight high temperature polyolefin with exceptional acoustical and electrical properties.
Pmp offer all forms of thermoplastic specialty materials which includes sheets films rods and shapes to clients in north america south east asia europe australia and new zealand.
From these humble beginnings pmp has developed sales teams around the world and supply specialty plastic sheets films and foils with full supply programs.
Polymethylpentene is similar to polypropylene but has an isobutyl group instead of a methyl group attached to each monomer group of the chain.
The transparent clear pmp sheet has a standard tolerance.
Pmp material chemically known as polymethylpentene is manufactured by ensinger in stock shapes for machining and is extruded in sheet and rod and may also be referred to as tpx.
Pmp is part of an established global network which specify supply engineer and work to develop plastics used in applications.
Tpx has low moisture absorption and excellent chemical resistance.
Its chemical resistance is close to that of pp.
