Polypropylene (PP) - Homopolymer (HP)
Polypropylene (PP) is the most versatile polymer available today. It is used for a broad range of plastic products due to its unmatched physical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, and electrical properties.
Its unique combination of versatility and cost-effectiveness makes it a popular choice for packaging, textile, automotive, household appliance, medical equipment and a host of other industries.
Properties:
Polypropylene offers the following advantages:
- High chemical resistance: Ideal for packaging applications in the cosmetics, medical, and agrochemical industries
- Lightweight: Lower handling and transportation costs
- Sustainability: Non-toxic and 100% recyclable
- High impact strength: Suitable for technical applications in the automotive,
equipment, and household appliance industries as well as for furniture and container applications
- High moisture resistance: Ideal for packaging of food and hygroscopic products
- High tenacity: Suitable for spun-bond nonwoven fabric yarns, adhesive tape, and laminations
- High heat resistance: Ideal for cold and hot liquid piping applications
- Low wall-thickness: More finished goods with lesser raw material. Suitable for film applications that require high transparency
Product Families: Homopolymer Polypropylene has a higher strength to weight ratio than other Polypropylene product families. It also offers high chemical resistance and is suitable for many corrosion-resistant products.
Applications:
- Packaging films, sheets, boxes, containers, bags, and FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container), etc.
- Woven bags and fine Denier fibers for woven and nonwoven fabrics
- Personal care and hygiene products like brushes, combs, medical and surgical devices, etc.
- Injection molding
Polypropylene (PP) - Copolymer (CP)
Polypropylene (PP) is the most versatile polymer available today. It is used for a broad range of plastic products due to its unmatched physical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, and electrical properties.

- Low wall-thickness: More finished goods with lesser raw material. Suitable for film applications that require high transparency
Product Families: Copolymer (CP) is a physical mixture of Homopolymer Polypropylene (HPP) and Random Copolymer (RCP). ICP is used in products that require enhanced impact resistance at low temperatures, especially freeze temperature and below.
Applications:
- Durable goods applications, automotive parts, appliance parts, etc.
- Cold-chain storage boxes
- Material-handling containers
- Rigid packaging
- Injection molding (caps and closures, batteries, thin-wall injection molding)

Product Families: RCP is made by copolymerizing propylene and small amounts of ethylene for use of the resulting material in thermoplastic products that required improved impact properties, better clarity, decreased melting point, and enhanced flexibility.
Applications:
- Heat seal and biaxially-oriented films
- ISBM (Injection Stretch Blow Molding) products such as clear bottles and syringes
- Thermoformed products
- Stationary items including ball-pen refills
- Injection molding
