Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene, is THE polymer of the future. Polypropylene has a melting point of 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius). It has a variety of uses from the household industry to industrial plastics. Plastic buckets, combs, battery covers, wastepaper baskets, etc. have been using this polymer extensively.

Virgin Polypropylene when moulded gives a translucent look to the product which can be improved to a certain extent by using clearing agents. It can be made opaque and coloured as per individual needs. Polypropylene has very good resistance to fatigue. Although it is less tough and flexible than LDPE, it is much less brittle than HDPE. This allows polypropylene to be used as a replacement for engineering plastics, such as ABS.It also has Copolymer and Random Copolymer. Copolymer helps stiffness of the PP (Polypropylene). Random Copolymer helps transparent look.

Copolymer is more expensive than Homopolypropylene. The price of Random Copolymer is even higher than copolymer PP.
