Polypropylene Production Cost Analysis
Polypropylene, also known as PP or polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer that is often used in a wide variety of applications. It is prepared via chain-growth polymerisation from the monomer propylene.
Polypropylene belongs to the group of polyolefins, which is partially crystalline and non-polar. Its properties are similar to that of polyethylene, but it is more heat resistant and slightly harder. It is a mechanically rugged material, which has a high chemical resistance and is white in colour. Polypropylene is the second-most widely manufactured commodity plastic after polyethylene. It is often utilised in packaging and labeling.
