POLYPROPYLENE (PP)<\/p>\n

Polypropylene\u00a0(PP),<\/strong> also known as\u00a0polypropene, is a\u00a0thermoplastic<\/a>\u00a0polymer<\/a>\u00a0used in a wide variety of applications. It is produced via\u00a0chain-growth polymerization<\/a>\u00a0from the\u00a0monomer<\/a>\u00a0propylene<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Polypropylene belongs to the group of\u00a0polyolefins<\/a>\u00a0and is\u00a0partially crystalline<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0non-polar<\/a>. Its properties are similar to\u00a0polyethylene<\/a>, but it is slightly harder and more heat resistant. It is a white, mechanically rugged material and has a high chemical resistance.[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Polypropylene is the second-most widely produced\u00a0commodity plastic<\/a>\u00a0(after\u00a0polyethylene<\/a>).<\/p>\n

There are 2 main types of polypropylene, namely\u00a0Homopolymer and Copolymers\u00a0(random and block).<\/p>\n

Homopolymer polypropylene\u00a0can be described as a General Purpose polymer, with the main applications in packaging, textiles, healthcare, pipes, automotive and electrical applications.\u00a0Polypropylene Random Copolymers\u00a0(ethylene comonomer) are flexible and optically clear, making them suitable for applications requiring transparency and excellent appearance. Polypropylene Block Copolymers are tougher and less brittle than Random Copolymers, and are suitable for applications requiring high strength.<\/p>\n

Overall, polypropylene finds uses in the following end use applications.<\/p>\n
