Polypropylene

It is a thermoplastic that has a series of properties that are difficult to find in other materials, such as: Its high thermal stability allows it to work for a long time at a temperature of 100 °C in air.

It is also resistant to boiling water and can be sterilized at temperatures up to 140°C without fear of deformation.

Main properties of polypropylene

Polypropylene processes

They can be classified, depending on the reaction medium and the operating temperature, into three types:

1. Solution processes
2. Processes in suspension
3. Gas phase processes

Product applications

An endless number of different polypropylene products can be prepared from industrial processes, whose properties vary according to the length of the polymer chains (molecular weight), its polydispersity, the comonomers eventually incorporated, etc. These basic characteristics define the mechanical properties of the material and its final applications. Literally speaking of different types or grades of polypropylene.
