Polypropylene (Polypro)

Polypropylene is a versatile thermoplastic widely used in manufacturing due to its excellent balance of properties and cost-effectiveness. As a semi-crystalline material, polypro offers good chemical resistance, fatigue resistance, and electrical insulating properties, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from industrial components to consumer goods.
Polypropylene can be easily machined and formed, with a working temperature range of -4°F to 176°F (-20°C to 80°C). Its lightweight nature (density of 0.905 g/cm³) combined with good mechanical properties makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring material that is both durable and lightweight. Polypropylene also offers excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, and most solvents at room temperature, making it suitable for chemical processing equipment and laboratory components.
Key Characteristics of Polypropylene
