TAFMER™ is used as a modifier that dramatically improves the properties of resin and as a molded material that has flexible and lightweigt characteristics. TAFMER™ is used in a wide range of fields such as automobile parts, packaging materials, sports goods, electric wires, civil engineering materials, construction materials, stationery, daily necessities, etc.

TAFMER™ is a low crystalline or amorphous α-olefin copolymer based on Mitsui Chemicals’ proprietary technology, using its state-of-the-art know-how in polyolefin and rubber materials.
TAFMER™ has lower density, lower modulus, and lower melting point, compared to polyethylene(PE) or polypropylene(PP).
