Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications. Its well-known outstanding properties include:

  • Light weight (low specific gravity)
  • High temperature resistance
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Excellent rigidity
  • No stress cracking
  • High tensile strength
  • Excellent flexural strength
  • Low creep
  • Excellent electrical properties
  • Good barrier properties
  • Impact resistance
  • Wide range of applications
  • Ease of processing
  • Highly environmental friendly
  • Many kinds of PP are known such as PP Homopolymer (PPHP), PP Impact/Block Copolymer(PPCP), PP Random Copolymer(PPRCP) etc.
    PP Homopolymer (PPHP)

    Homopolymer consists solely of propylene in the polymer chain. As a semi-crystalline polymer, homopolymer possesses good mechanical properties, including high rigidity, high tensile strength, and good thermal-deformation resistance. Its good melt flow and high crystallization temperature also help shorten the molding cycle time.

    GRADE APPLICATION
    PP-Yarn/Raffia Raffia, Yarns, Thermoformed parts, Ropes, Tapes, Monofilament, Strapping, Tarpaulin etc.
    PP -Film Food & Apparel Packaging, Shopping Bag etc.
    PP-Injection Household product, Toy, Office accessory, Food container, Infant article, Fruit basket, closure etc.
    PP Impact/Block Copolymer(PPCP)

    Impact (Heterophasic) Copolymer is also called Block Copolymer. To improve impact resistance of polypropylene, ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) is dispersed within the polymer matrix in the polymerization process. Impact copolymer exhibits good impact resistance under both ambient and low temperature. It also exhibits good long-term thermal stability (age resistance).

    GRADE APPLICATION
    PPCP- Injection Automotive and Electrical Appliance Parts, Industrial Uses, Toy, Furniture, Pail, Crates, Containers.
    PPCP- Battery Case & Industrial Battery Case, Washing machine parts such as tub, base, panel; Automotive and Electrical Appliance Parts ,Houseware and industrial use.
    PPCP-Lamination PP woven bag , BOPP and paper substrate, Tarpaulin.
    PP Random Copolymer(PPRCP)

    Random Copolymer exhibits improved transparency and softer touch owing to its lower crystallinity.

    GRADE APPLICATION
    PPRCP- Injection Cosmetics container & cap, Food container, Transparency case, Stationery, Disposable syringe, CD/DVD case,High transparency TWIM parts.
    PPRCP-Lamination PP woven bag , BOPP and paper substrate, Tarpaulin.
    PPRCP-Blow & Extrusion Cosmetic and detergent bottle Eye drop and food(syrup) bottle.
