A synthetic resin built up by the polymerization of propylene. One of the important families of polyolefin resins, polypropylene is molded or extruded into many plastic products in which toughness, flexibility, light weight, and heat resistance are required. It is also spun into fibers for employment in industrial and household textiles.
PP is a semi-crystalline polymer with a melting point of approximately 160°C. Its excellent chemical resistance makes it ideal for diverse applications across packaging, textiles, automotive, and industrial sectors.
The most widely utilized general-purpose grade. It contains only propylene monomer in a semi-crystalline solid form. Main applications include packaging, textiles, healthcare, pipes, automotive, and electrical applications.
Higher crystallinity levels — better stiffness, tensile strength, impact resistance and initial creep resistance.
| Extrusion | Film, fiber (woven), continuous filament, spun-bond (non-woven), thermoforming, rope |
| Film | BOPP, cast film |
| Injection Molding | Food containers, toys, consumer goods, industrial parts, medical parts |
Resin Code 5
Contains a higher ethylene content compound which is softer but has better impact strength. Co-monomer units arranged in regular blocks make the thermoplastic tougher and less brittle. Suitable for applications requiring high strength, such as industrial usages.
Better stress crack resistance, excellent impact resistance, and lower temperature toughness.
| Compression Folding | Caps & closures |
| Extrusion | Sheet & thermoforming, fiber, adhesive tape |
| Film | Blown film & cast films (bags, pouches, food packaging) |
| Injection Molding | Battery cases, automotive parts, pallets, luggage, TWIM |
Resin Code 5
Produced by polymerizing together ethene and propene with ethene units randomly incorporated in the polypropylene chains. These polymers are flexible and optically clear, making them suitable for applications requiring transparency and excellent appearance.
Excellent clarity, high transparency, and good flexibility for injection molding, blow molding and thermoforming applications.
| Blow Molding | Cosmetics & high transparent bottles |
| Extrusion | Pipe (PP-R) |
| Film | Cast film, BOPP and blown film |
| Injection Molding | High clarity food packaging container (TWIM) |
