It is the standard plastic with the lowest density (0.9 g/cm³). The maximum continuous operating temperature is about 100 °C. Below 0 °C, the material becomes brittle and its impact sensitivity increases more than with PE. Special types with different tacticity allow both higher and lower operating temperatures. Most types of polypropylene have a uniform structure. This leads to a high degree of crystallization and thus to comparably higher strength and stiffness as well as melting and service temperature ranges. Due to its low density and good compatibility with almost all organic solvents, polypropylene is a popular plastic in the automotive and carpet industries. It is physiologically harmless and biologically inert, so it is widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. product properties STRENGTH HEAT RESISTANCE LOI (LIMITED OXYGEN INDEX) CHEMICAL RESISTANCE (ALKALI) CHEMICAL RESISTANCE (ACIDS) select your possibilities standard specialties recycled regular shrinkage – thermofixation – spun-dyed colors – flame retardant – FDA approved – increased stability against UV radiation Our broad portfolio offers a wide range of counts for industrial and textile applications.
