Goodfellow Offers Mitsui Chemicals' Transparent TPX® Polymethylpentene-based Film, Sheets & more

TPX® polymethylpentene is a lightweight, transparentsemi-crystalline material with outstanding resistance to both steam sterilization and a wide range of chemicals. Unlike some polymeric materials that discolor or embrittle after just a few cycles in an autoclave, TPX® remains transparent and strong. Items made with this exceptional polymer can be reused many times, promoting reuse rather than recycling and contributing to greater sustainability.


Characteristics of TPX® include:
  • Low density
  • Resistance to steam and chemicals
  • Does not absorb water
  • Visible light transmission ~92-94%
  • Low refractive index
  • Nonstick properties
  • The numerous benefits of TPX® make it ideal for use in food containers, sterilization cases, laboratory equipment, LED molds, etc. TPX® also has excellent UV transmission characteristics, making it useful in UV sterilization equipment.
    TPX® is available in film, sheet, rod and granule form from Goodfellow, one among the leading suppliers of polymers, metals, ceramics and composites for research and industry.
    TPX® is manufactured solely by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.
