PP – Polypropylene

PP: Moplen, Ineos, Borealis, Hipolen, Tipplen, Tatren, Hostacom, Isoglass, Isofil

Typical applications

Food packaging and containers

• Microwave containers: Due to its high melting point, it can withstand heating.
• Plastic caps: Toughness allows the production of flexible hinges (e.g. on shampoos) that do not break.
• Plastic bottles and jars: Use for sauces, dairy products and beverages.
• Flexible packaging: Foils for packaging snacks, bread and clothing.

Automotive industry

• Battery housings: Resistance to acids and high temperatures under the hood.

Textiles and fibers

• Sports and thermal clothing: The fibers do not absorb moisture and dry quickly.
• Carpets and ropes: High strength and resistance to wear and mildew.
• Non-woven fabrics: Cloth shopping bags, diapers and protective masks.

Medicine and laboratories

• Medical syringes: Chemical resistance and transparency.
• Squirrels and pipes: Possibility of heat sterilization in autoclaves.
• Packaging for medicines: Ensures safe storage without reactions with the contents.

Household appliances and accessories

• Parts of washing machines and dishwashers: Resistance to detergents and hot water.
• Tools and buckets: Trash cans, buckets, plastic furniture and small appliance casings.

Construction and industry

• Water and heating pipes: Resistance to corrosion and high pressures.
