Polypropylene

Homopolymer, Impact Copolymer, Random Copolymer

Polypropylene is a versatile thermoplastic resin available in a wide range of formulations from general purpose homopolymer, random copolymer and impact copolymer grades to highly specialized resins for engineering applications.

Grades of polypropylene are available to meet the needs of various fabrication processes such as extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming, blow molding, biaxially oriented film (BOPP), fiber spinning, slit tape, extrusion coating, and laminating. The wide range of physical properties and relative ease of processing make polypropylene an extremely attractive material capable of competing with more expensive resins in a number of demanding applications.
