Introduction

PP is a lightweight and versatile thermoplastic with good chemical resistance, high melting point, and low moisture absorption. It is known for its excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and flexural modulus.

Uses

Commonly used in the packaging industry for making food containers, bottles, and packaging films. It is also widely used in the automotive sector for interior components, battery cases, and under-the-hood applications. In addition, PP finds applications in the manufacturing of pipes, fittings, and medical devices.

Technology

PP can be processed by injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and rotational molding. It can be reinforced with fibers or fillers to improve its mechanical properties and thermal stability.
