Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic, it is also known as polypropene made from the blend of propylene monomers. PP Plastic or PP Plastic Scrap is used in a variety of applications such as packaging of products, plastic products for different types of industries like automotive, textiles & small consumer goods like hinges, and in the furniture market.
PP Plastic was first made in 1951 by Paul Hogan and Robert Banks and after that by German & Italian scientists Rehn and Natta. It rapidly became well known, as commercial production began in just 3 years following an Italian chemist, Giulio Natta, polymerized it.
Giulio made the plastic perfect and synthesized the 1st polypropylene resin in Spain in the year 1954, and the main characteristic of PP is to crystallize, creating a lot of excitement. By the year 1957, its demand had risen and extensive commercial production started across Europe. Today it is one of the most common plastics throughout the world.
According to a recent study, current worldwide demand for the material in the market generates annually of approx 45 million metric tons and it is estimated that the demand will again increase to approximately 62 million metric tons. The significant users of PP are the packaging industry, which uses nearly 30% of total polypropylene, followed by equipment manufacturing and electrical, which uses about 13% each.
The most noteworthy characteristics of polypropylene plastic
Chemical Resistance: Acids and Diluted bases don’t react easily with polypropylene, which makes it preferable for the containers of such liquids.
Elasticity and Toughness: Polypropylene has an elasticity over a certain range, but it will also experience early plastic deformation in this process, so it is normally considered as a "tough" material.
Fatigue Resistance: Polypropylene preserves its structure after a lot of twisting or wrenching. This characteristic is particularly important for making living hinges.
Insulation: Polypropylene has a high level of resistance for electricity and is very convenient for electronic parts.
Transmissivity: Even if polypropylene can be transparent, it is often produced opaque in color. It may be utilized for applications where some amount of light is required. But when a high transmissivity is required than other plastics like Polycarbonate or Acrylic are better choices.
Why is Polypropylene used so often?
Polypropylene is used in various industrial & household applications. Its special characteristics and potential to adapt several fabrication techniques make it a unique material for a broad range of uses. Polypropylene’s potential to be produced with different techniques and into different applications meant it soon began to challenge numerous of the old aged alternative materials, particularly in the fiber, packaging and injection molding productions. Polypropylene remains a key player in the plastic industry globally.
What Are The Different Types of Polypropylene?
There are two major types of polypropylene plastic: homopolymers and copolymers. The copolymers are additionally split up into block copolymers and random copolymers. Each variety fits particular uses better than the others one. Polypropylene is often known as the“steel” of the plastic industry since it is used in various ways. It can be customized to serve a specific purpose.
