Polypropylene (PP) Resin

What is PP REsin? 

Polypropylene (PP) is one of the five general-purpose resins. It is a low-cost thermoplastic with high transparency, high gloss, and good tensile strength. Its appearance is white granules, tasteless and non-toxic. Due to its regular crystal structure, polypropylene granules has the advantages of easy processing, impact strength, flex resistance and good electrical insulation. So PP resin is widely used in the automotive industry, household appliances, electronics, packaging and building materials and furniture etc.

Classification of Polypropylene Resin 

Polypropylene resin can be classified into various categories. According to the different spatial positions of methyl groups (-CH3) in the polypropylene molecule, it can be divided into three categories: isotactic, syndiotactic and atactic. According to the polymerization process, the polymerization of isotactic polypropylene can be divided into slurry method, bulk method. solution method and gas phase method. According to the use of PP granules, it can be divided into flat yarn (narrow tape), fiber, film, extrusion, blow molding, injection molding, etc.

Polypropylene yarn grade has excellent tensile properties and good processing properties. It is mainly used to produce plastic woven products. The finished products have the characteristics of non-absorbent, corrosion resistance, mildew resistance, friction resistance and long service life. It is widely used in the production of woven bags. (shading or covering) color strips, carpet backing (base cloth), container bags, tarpaulins and ropes. The products are mainly used in food, fertilizer, cement, Packaging of sugar, salt, industrial materials and mineral sands, etc.

1. Impact Copolymer Polypropylene resin is a heterophasic copolymer produced by incorporating a rubberized ethylene propylene copolymer into a semicrystalline propylene homopolymer matrix. The product has high heat distortion temperature, good scratch resistance, low temperature impact resistance and good balance of rigidity and toughness, as well as good fluidity, short molding cycle and excellent molding processing performance. Impact copolymer PP is widely used in the production of automotive dashboards and interior parts, car bumpers, washing machine internal and external parts, battery shell and fuel tanks and other industrial products. Toys, tool boxes, travel bags and various packaging containers, etc. 2. Random Copolymer Random copolymer polypropylene is a copolymer in which ethylene is randomly distributed in propylene segments. Has good transparency, gloss, heat resistance and processing properties. PP Random copolymer can be widely used to make medical injections that require high transparency medical devices such as infusion bottles, medical centrifuge tubes. sample storage tubes, etc. Production of food containers, stationery, packaging materials, household storage, etc. 3. Homopolyer PP homopolymer has high crystallinity, high rigidity, high strength, high modulus, good thermal deformation resistance, good scratch resistance and good fluidity. In addition the short molding cycle of the product is also its main advantage. It can be widely used in the production of electric kettles, rice cookers, electric irons, heaters, hair dryers, electric toasters, electric hand dryers and other small appliances.

1. Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) BOPP is the most important polypropylene film. It’s a great alternative to cellophane, wax paper, and aluminum foil. Orientation increases tensile strength and stiffness. reduces elongation (harder to stretch), and improves optical properties and, to some extent, vapor barrier properties. In general, BOPP has higher tensile strength, higher modulus (stiffness), lower elongation, better gas barrier and lower haze than CPP. BOPP is mainly used in inner and outer packaging with high stiffness and high transparency. It is also widely used in the production of flat film, matte film, beads for printing composite. Products such as glossy film. synthetic paper and cigarette film are usually used to make trademark printing, printing Brush lamination, food and beverage packaging, cigarette packaging and adhesive tape, etc. 2. Casting Polypropylene (CPP) Casting Polypropylene (CPP) can be used to manufacture the surface layer and inner layer of CPP film, smooth surface, resistance to cooking and other characteristics, the film thickness uniformity is good, the balance of performance is excellent. CPP is widely used in the production of inner layer heat-sealing film of composite film, film for vacuum aluminizing, film for high temperature cooking, packaging film, matt film and metallized film, etc. It is usually used for clothing, stationery, food, medicine, cosmetics, packaging materials for textiles, etc.

Polypropylene pipe material is a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing a small amount of ethylene on a propylene segment, mainly including impact copolymer polypropylene (PP-B) and random copolymer polypropylene (PP-R). The product has good creep resistance, excellent long-term aging resistance and impact resistance, and has good extraction resistance at high temperature. PP pipe grade is mainly used in the manufacture of pipes for building water supply systems, heating systems and chemical piping systems. The products have the characteristics of light weight, corrosion resistance, no scaling, long service life, good hygienic performance, heat preservation and energy saving, convenient installation and reliable connection.
