Polypropylene (PP) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic from the polyolefin family, known for its low density, chemical resistance, and excellent processability. It is one of the most widely used plastics in the world, valued for its balance of performance and affordability across industrial and everyday applications.Polypropylene (PP) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic from the polyolefin family, known for its low density, chemical resistance, and excellent processability.

• Automotive industry: Interior trim, engine covers, air filters, bumpers, battery housings, and other lightweight parts.
• Household goods: Containers, furniture, kitchenware, storage boxes, baby products, and toys.
• Packaging: Films, yogurt cups, caps, bottles, and containers for food, pharmaceuticals, or cosmetics.
• Medical products: Syringes, labware, sterilizable containers, and disposable items.
• Construction: Water pipes, cable protection, joints, and insulation materials.
• Textile industry: Nonwoven fabrics, carpet fibers, sacks, and filters.
• Low density: One of the lightest thermoplastics, enabling lightweight components with good strength
• to
• weight ratio.
• Excellent chemical resistance: Withstands acids, bases, alcohols, detergents, and solvents.
• Good fatigue resistance: Performs well in flexible applications such as living hinges.
• Low moisture absorption: Ensures dimensional stability in various climatic conditions.
• Food contact safe: Many PP grades are certified for food packaging, containers, and utensils.
• Low impact resistance at low temperatures: Becomes brittle below 0 °C.
• Poor UV resistance: Degrades quickly in sunlight without stabilizers.
• Difficult to bond: Low surface energy makes it hard to glue or print without surface
