Description
Polypropylene Product Overview
Polypropylene is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic made by polymerizing propylene. It has low density (about 0.90–0.91 g/cm³), good chemical resistance and a melting point of about 160–165°C. Grades include homopolymers, random copolymers for clarity and impact copolymers for toughness at low temperatures.
In addition, converters use PP in injection-molded packaging, caps, housewares and automotive parts, in biaxially oriented films (BOPP) for packaging, and in fibers for nonwovens, carpets and ropes. The melt flow index guides grade choice: low values suit extrusion, whereas high values suit thin-walled injection molding and meltblown nonwovens. Similarly, compounders use it with fillers and additives.
Furthermore, PP comes from Propylene; related polymer materials and additives in our range include Polyethylene Wax and Talc.
Key Applications of Polypropylene

🚗 Automotive
Bumpers, interior parts as well as compounds.
🧵 Fibers and Nonwovens
Nonwovens, carpets as well as ropes.
🏠 Housewares
Household articles as well as appliances.

⚠️ Safety & Handling: Not classified as hazardous under GHS. Molten polymer causes burns, and fine dust can form explosive mixtures. Store pellets in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), because it contains the full classification and handling instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right melt flow index?
Low MFI grades suit extrusion and blow molding, whereas high MFI grades suit thin-walled injection molding and nonwovens.
What is the difference between homopolymer and copolymer?
Homopolymer offers stiffness, random copolymer offers clarity, and impact copolymer offers toughness at low temperatures.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination, so please contact us with your required volume. We then send a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
