Polypropylene, Propylene Polymer, PP, 9003-07-0

Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer that stands out as the second most widely produced plastic material in the world. It is obtained by polymerizing the monomer propylene and is highly resistant to chemical solvents (acids and bases).

Properties:

• Color: Typically white or translucent

• Density: 0.895-0.92 g/cm³

• Melting Point: 130-171°C

• Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents

• Odor: Odorless

Applications:

• Automotive: Interior and exterior parts of vehicles

• Textiles: Fiber and yarn production

• Food Packaging: Food containers and packaging materials

• Infrastructure and Construction: Pipes and fittings

• Household Items: Kitchen and bathroom utensils, garden chairs, and tables

• Industrial Packaging: Various buckets, detergent bottles, and cans

Polypropylene is favored in many fields due to its cost advantage, durability, ease of molding, resistance to chemical oils and solvents, moisture and heat resistance, and low friction coefficient.
