What is polypropylene?
Polypropylene, formerly known as polypropylene, is a plastic suitable for numerous applications, from bread tubs to furniture and from carpets to industrial sheets. This type of plastic is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic produced by the polymerisation of propylene. 'PP' plastics, like polyethylene, belong to the group of polyolefins, or plastics based on carbon and hydrogen.
Ideal for various (industrial) applications
Polypropylene can be used for many applications and combines excellent chemical resistance with low weight and, in general, excellent mechanical properties. For instance, this type of plastic has extremely low moisture absorption and excellent resistance to hydrolysis. This combination makes the plastic suitable for many applications. Furthermore, PP has high resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, including acids, alcohols, hot water and most detergents. The material is easy to machine and allows excellent welding, setting, turning, milling and drilling. It is therefore no surprise that polypropylene sheets are ideally suited for engineering and construction applications and are often used in the chemical industry.
Other possible applications of 'PP' sheets
Besides the chemical industry, there are many other possible applications of polypropylene sheets. These include:
- Pickling baths
- Gas scrubbers
- Device construction
- Storage and transport tanks
- Galvano industry
- Laboratory construction
- Punch plates
- Exhaust systems & piping systems.
