Alformet - Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene (PP) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material known for its outstanding mechanical and chemical properties. As a member of the polyolefins group, PP is revered for its balanced characteristics that make it a universally applicable standard plastic. It exhibits excellent chemical resistance, ensuring durability in harsh environments, and is characterized by high purity levels, minimizing contamination risk in sensitive applications. Its low water absorption attribute enhances its reliability in humid conditions, while its good electrical insulation properties make it suitable for various electronic and electrical applications. Industries such as automotive, consumer goods, and packaging leverage these properties for manufacturing robust and efficient products. Additionally, PP's versatility extends to its formability, allowing for the creation of thermoplastic composite tubes and profiles often used in structural and support applications.
