Polypropylene

Show company
Application
Known as a light weight and versatile polymer with excellent chemical resistance along with relatively high rigidity and melting point, PP continues to be used in many applications ranging from automotive parts, carpet fibers, household and food containers, toys, and diapers to high-clarity films
Description
Polypropylene (PP) is estimated to account for over 20% of the global thermoplastic market. In addition to competition with polyethylene and polystyrene, PP typically competes against other traditional non-polymer materials such as aluminum, steel, wood, cardboard, glass, and paper.
Its largest application globally is for injection molding at 30% of total demand. Injection molding applications cover many major segments such as rigid packaging for food, household containers, and automotive products. Film & sheet, at 25% of total demand, is the second largest segment, most commonly recognized by its major component BOPP (Biaxial Oriented PP) film used for snack food packaging. The last two segments of major significance are fibers and raffia at % and 20% respectively. The fibers segment would encompass the non-woven market (i.e., diapers and hospital gowns) and raffia is most commonly used to produce flexible woven bags.
There are three types of PP products; homopolymer, random copolymer, and impact copolymer. We produce homopolymer and copolymer PP resins in various MFI grades ranging from 3 to 40 and from 4 to 100 respectively.
