Your Markets - Polypropylene

 
The versatility of Polypropylene enables its use in almost any application. Without it such main markets as the automotive, construction, consumer packaging & products, disposables, industrial packaging, industrial products, medical and textile markets wouldn’t be as mature as they are today.

Automotive

Polypropylene (PP) has penetrated well the broad field of injection molding applications on the basis of its thermoplastic behavior-as the process can be repeated many times, and polypropylene can be recycled easily at different stages of its life cycle. An exceptionally wide range of injection molded products can be considered due to the rigidity, toughness and chemical and temperature resistance of PP.
