Coex QUick Reference
This Quick Reference is intended to provide an overview of the optical, mechanical, temperature and barrier properties of monolayer CP301 and the two base coex film structures, CP383X and ACP383X.
It should be noted that the property data indicated is generic in nature in that some properties can be modified depending upon the choice of resin(s) and additives used in the manufacturing process. In particular, substituting different resins in the core layer can modify the mechanical properties of CP383X and ACP383X.
