Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications including packaging and labeling, textiles (e.g., ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes. An addition polymer made from the monomer propylene, it is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids.
It is also one of the key products used in the packing and transportation of agricultural commodities in shipping containers, making it a key product for us, given our heavy emphasis on Agricultural trading.
Here are some advantages of using Polypropylene.
- Polypropylene is readily available and relatively inexpensive.
- Polypropylene has high flexural strength due to its semi-crystalline nature.
- Polypropylene has a relatively slippery surface.
- Polypropylene is very resistant to absorbing moisture.
- Polypropylene has good chemical resistance over a wide range of bases and acids.
- Polypropylene possesses good fatigue resistance.
- Polypropylene has good impact strength.
- Polypropylene is a good electrical insulator.
