There is a wide range of uses for polypropylene. With its three sub-groups, homopolymer, copolymer and random copolymer, this plastic can be used almost universally. It can not only be used for making packaging, various injection moulding articles and tubing: everyday objects such as carpets, hard-top cases and bumpers - to name but a few examples - are also made from this material.
PP Homopolymer - PP Homo Homopolymer consists of monomer chains of one type. This results in a relatively stable and rigid plastic that is extremely heat-resistant.
PP Copolymer - PP Copo Copolymer joins various types of monomers in long chains, resulting in an extremely elastic material of the type that is frequently required in the automobile industry.
PP Random Copolymer - PP Raco The random copolymer contains components of ethylene in the polymer chain. This is a purely optical aspect; it creates a degree of transparency. This effect is in particular demand for packaging.
