Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene

Our product range includes Polypropylene in three different forms: Homopolymer Polypropylene (HPP), Impact Copolymer Polypropylene (CPP), and Random Copolymer Polypropylene (RPP). These differ in their ethylene content and consequently in their transparency, flexibility, and resistance to low temperatures.

Important general characteristics:

  • Low density (lightweight)
  • Very good resistance to chemicals
  • Profound stress cracking resistance
  • Recyclability
  • Reduced temperature sensitivity
  • Matte surface
  • Harder and stiffer than PE (also at higher temperatures)

Potential areas of use

  • Pipe systems for heating, sanitary, and air conditioning systems
  • Ropes and nets
  • Electrical and electronic equipment
  • Refrigerator interiors
  • Toys
  • Bottle and canister closures
  • Suitcase shells
  • Toilet seats
  • Food packaging
  • and many others

Possible process technologies

  • Blown and flat film extrusion
  • Deep drawing
  • Injection molding
  • Blow molding
  • Rotational molding
