PP Polypropylene

Polypropylene is currently one of the most popular polymers in common use. Without it it would be almost impossible to function in the medical, pharmaceutical, automotive, food or furniture industries. Therefore, at KK SOLUTIONS, we provide our customers with access to a wide variety of types of products made just from polypropylene. Take advantage of them!

What exactly is PP polypropylene?

Polypropylene with the trade designation PP is one of the polymers and is classified as a plastic. It is formed by the low-pressure polymerization of propylene (propene). It is included in the group of polyolefins, that is, polymers having only carbon and hydrogen in their molecular composition.

Due to the way polypropylene is obtained, 4 main types of this polymer can be distinguished:

  • amorphous otherwise amorphous
  • atactic
  • isotactic
  • syndiotactic

Characteristics of polypropylene

What are the characteristics of PP polypropylene? It depends on the form it takes in the polymerization of propylene. Isotactic PP, whose chirality centers are fully ordered and equal, is considered the most durable and strongest variety of polypropylene.

It is essentially insoluble in water, odorless, colorless, easy to print and very easy to machine and heat treat. As a result, it is not difficult to produce a wide variety of molds and objects of common use from it. PP can also be used to produce structural components.

Noteworthy is its physical and chemical stability despite changes in the temperature of the material. Raising it above the melting point and cooling it down means that the component still has the same properties. It may only change its shape slightly if it is not properly shaped in the process.

This is why many polypropylene parts do not require adhesives if they are to be joined together. Similarly, the manufacture of PP products itself is based mainly on heating the raw material, pressing it into a mold and cooling it.
