ExxonMobil PP1024E4 is ExxonMobil's polypropylene homopolymer, sold for general purpose injection molding. Published melt flow is 13 g/10 min, measured at 230°C / 446°F, 2.16 kg, ASTM D1238, and density is 0.900 g/cm³ (ASTM D1505). Grades from other producers to ask about include Pro-fax 6331 and Formolene 4100N. They are not identical, so compare the data sheets and run a trial before switching.

Grades to ask about instead of ExxonMobil PP1024E4
These grades from other producers have similar published specs. None is a drop-in replacement: additive packages, flow at molding shear rates, color and approvals differ. If your part, drawing or customer approval names ExxonMobil PP1024E4, any change needs your approval and usually a trial.
| Grade | Producer | Melt flow | Density | Key property | How it compares |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro-fax 6331 | LyondellBasell | 12 g/10 min (230°C / 446°F, 2.16 kg, ASTM D1238) | 0.90 g/cm³ (ASTM D792) | Flexural modulus, 1% secant 1,450 MPa (210,000 psi); notched Izod 32 J/m | General purpose homopolymer for injection molding (LYB also lists cast film and compounding); North America |
| Formolene 4100N | Formosa Plastics USA | 12 g/10 min (Formosa product table) | Not listed on Formosa table | Flexural modulus 200,000 psi; notched Izod 0.5 ft-lb/in (Formosa table) | General purpose injection and compounding homopolymer, listed as barefoot |

Typical uses for ExxonMobil PP1024E4
From ExxonMobil's data sheet and published listings:
- Automotive applications
- Cast film
- Compounding
- Consumer applications
- Medical/healthcare applications (with ExxonMobil's written acknowledgement only)
- Packaging
What to check before you switch
- ExxonMobil's legal statement says the product and its name may not be used or tested in any medical application without ExxonMobil's prior written acknowledgement, even though medical/healthcare uses and sterilization features are listed.
- Datasheet revision date is 07/01/2017; the grade is still in ExxonMobil's current homopolymer data sheet index under the same name.
- Formolene 4100N is listed as barefoot; stabilizer package may differ from PP1024E4.
- Melt flow differs slightly (12 for the alternatives vs 13 for PP1024E4); confirm fill and cycle time on thin-wall tools.
- Compare melt flow, density and impact only at the same test condition and method (ASTM vs. ISO results differ).
- Ask for the producer's food-contact or regulatory letter for the exact grade if the part needs one.
- Run a trial lot and check shrinkage, cycle time and appearance before you switch production.
