What is polypropylene?

Polypropylene is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic. It has high impact resistance, strong mechanical properties, and is resistant to a variety of organic solvents and acid and alkali corrosion. It has a wide range of applications in the industry.

Advantages of polypropylene.

• It has a low density, so it can make lightweight products.

• It is a rigid material, so it is difficult to deform even when impacted.

• It is an easily recyclable material.

• It has good elastic recovery.

• It has little water absorption, so it is not a wet material.

• It has high resistance to chemical agents.

• Good thermal stability.

Why use polypropylene products?

• Low cost.

• Versatility: compatible with most existing processing technologies and used in different commercial applications such as packaging, automotive, textiles, kitchenware, pharmaceuticals, pipes, etc.

• Water vapor barrier: prevents the transfer of moisture and can be used to protect a variety of foods.

• Good sensory, chemical, resistance and transparency.

Environmental commitment.

Polypropylene is the only plastic recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for contact with food.
