Polypropylene (PP), like other plastics, typically starts with the distillation of hydrocarbon fuels into lighter groups called “fractions” some of which are combined with other catalysts to produce plastics (typically via polymerization or polycondensation).
What are the advantages of Polypropylene (PP) ?
- Polypropylene is readily available and relatively inexpensive.
- Polypropylene has high flexural strength due to its semi-crystalline nature.
- Polypropylene has a relatively slippery surface.
- Polypropylene is very resistant to absorbing moisture.
- Polypropylene has good chemical resistance over a wide range of bases and acids.
- Polypropylene possesses good fatigue resistance.
- Polypropylene has good impact strength.
- Polypropylene is a good electrical insulator.
What are the Disadvantages of Polypropylene (PP)?
- Polypropylene has a high thermal expansion coefficient which limits its high temperature applications.
- Polypropylene is susceptible to UV degradation.
- Polypropylene has poor resistance to chlorinated solvents and aromatics.
- Polypropylene is known to be difficult to paint as it has poor bonding properties.
- Polypropylene is highly flammable.
- Polypropylene is susceptible to oxidation.
