Key Properties
Polypropylene is one of the most widely used thermoplastic polymers, valued for its chemical resistance and versatility. It is a member of the polyolefin family and is produced through the polymerization of propylene monomers. Polypropylene is known for its excellent mechanical properties, low density, and resistance to moisture, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Its versatility allows it to be used in various forms, including fibers, films, and molded products, making it a staple in many industries.
Also known as PP, Polypropene.

Polypropylene typically appears as a white to translucent solid. It has a melting point of approximately 160-170 °C and a density of about 0.90 g/cm³. The material is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and xylene. Polypropylene exhibits a glass transition temperature of around -10 °C, which contributes to its flexibility at lower temperatures. It has a tensile strength of about 30-50 MPa, making it a strong and durable material.
