Moplen polypropylene (PP) What is it?

Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer, which is a type of wide range of application. Extremely resistant to chemical solvents. Plastic utensils, plastic furniture, packaging industry, the automotive industry as well as use of a wide range of areas. Polypropylene is usually tough and flexible plastic. Especially when copolymerized with ethylene is used instead of ABS engineering plastics have become.

Close to the melting point of polypropylene is 160 degrees, 200 degrees is usually dissolved in the production process used. At this stage, the melt flow index is an important criterion. (melt flow index-MFI). This index is based on the value of polypropylene edilebilinir predict how long the process of being subjected to. High MFI polypropylene with a value more easily fills the mold during the process. However, this index decreases with increasing impact strength polypropylene.

One of the advantages of polypropylene shows very good resistance against fatigue. In addition, low cost, and good resistance to impact. Low coefficient of friction and excellent electrical insulation.

When it comes to the disadvantage of polypropylene, UV resistance is less, shows a high thermal expansion, and less resistance to external weather conditions. Combustible.
