Polypropylene (PP) is a versatile polymer with excellent mechanical properties; because of this, it has gradually replaced polyethylene for many applications. It is an economical material noted for its high-quality chemical resistance in corrosive environments and is the second most widely produced commodity in plastics today. Cost and its recyclability are a couple reasons behind the rise in polypropylene in the commercial marketplace. Polypropylene is USDA and FDA certified.
A few characteristics of polypropylene include:
Polypropylene has the ability to function as both a plastic material and a fiber. It is easily fabricated and has high impact resistance. This has given PP a lot of functionality across the end-use market.
