Overview

PP (Polypropylene) is a semycrystalline thermoplastic, known for its resistance to chemical agents. It is completely inert and does not easily interact with any substance, for this reason it is commonly used for the packaging of food and chemicals.

It is a flexible and durable material, with a high resistance to impacts and wear.

Technical Information

High-performance material with flexible applications

Lightweight material with excellent chemical resistance and fatigue life suitable for wet environments. It has an elongation at break and a stiffness superior to PA that allows it to be used for flexible applications in aggressive environments.

Chemical resistance

Due to its chemical composition, each thermoplastic polymer is characterised by a different resistance to the different classes of chemicals, including apparently harmless substances such as food and cleaning products.

High chemical and humidity resistance

PP is highly resistant to chemicals and humidity, which allows for disinfection and cleaning without losing its mechanical properties to hydroalcoholic solutions.

Low rigidity and low density

The combination of low rigidity and low density allows the piece to adapt to the user effortlessly, providing a high level of comfort.

Clips and mechanisms that require certain flexibility

Low rigidity combined with good adhesion between layers allow PP to create safe and strong clips and flexible mechanisms.

Lightweight and waterproof applications

With high interlayer adhesion and low density, PP is the perfect choice for lightweight, airtight containers.

Resistant to water and chemicals

You can use it in contact with liquids and in aggressive environments.
