Plastic PP

Various PP Plastics

Polypropylene or PP plastic is a polymer made of propylene monomer. PP plastic is the second most widely produced plastic in the world. PP plastic is considered as "steel" of plastic because it can be modified in such a way as needed. PP plastic currently has two types of PP plastic, namely:

1. PP Homopolymer Plastic

PP Homopolymer plastic is one of the most widely used types of PP plastic, and can be found in packaging, textile, automotive, and electrical products. This material is stronger and stiffer than other PP plastic variants.

2. PP Copolymer Plastic

PP copolymer plastic is a mixture of ethene and propene in the polymerization process. This mixture makes PP plastic more flexible. This type of PP plastic is suitable for applications that require good transparency and visuals.

PP Plastic Application

With the two types of PP plastic, this type of plastic is commonly applied and used in several sectors, here are the applications:

1. Product Packaging

PP plastic is often used as a basic material for packaging. PP plastic can be used to make plastic shrink wrap to electronic equipment. Then, PP plastic is also safe for single-use food packaging

2. Textile

PP plastic can also be spun into fibers which are then reused to make very strong and inexpensive yarn. Making it the main choice as a container or packaging for the storage and transportation of food products such as vegetables.

3. Medical Needs

Because PP plastic has resistance to microbial growth and chemical compounds, PP plastic is often used by the healthcare industry such as the manufacture of syringes, intravenous devices, and specimen bottles. PP plastics used for medical purposes are also capable of withstanding steam sterilization.

4. Automotive

The advantages of PP plastic that are easy to shape make it one of the most widely used products for interior and exterior components of cars. Some applications of PP plastic in cars include car panels, car bumpers, and car fenders.

That's the discussion about PP plastic. In addition to PP plastic, you can also use PE plastic, ABS plastic, HDPPE plastic, PET plastic, POM plastic, and other plastics.
