PP

Multiple methods are used to convert the single-molecule propylene into a polymer. It acquires the name Polypropylene following these procedures. This raw material is known as “PP” in the economy. Kemahlıoğlu Plastik employs Petkim raw material in PP bags to produce goods that are uniform and of high quality. If not, the demand dictates that a different raw material unique to that production be utilized. Kemahlıoğlu Plastik has been a Petkim Petrochemical Holding contracted customer for more than 25 years, and because of the mutually beneficial relationship the two companies have built, Kemahlıoğlu Plastik is able to pass on the advantages in raw material procurement to its clients.

Polypropylene Properties

Physically, it is a sturdy, opaque, and rigid substance. Its specific gravity is low enough for it to float on water. Electrical insulation is provided. The substance polypropylene is heat-sensitive. High temperatures make processing and shaping it simple. There is no degradation after chilling. Many areas of the global economy favor this polymer. The physical and chemical characteristics of this plastic are the cause of this. The most appealing of these attributes for polypropylene is chemical resistance. It can resist aggressive chemicals belonging to the acid and base family. But it is not resistant to non-polar liquids such as benzene and methyl chloride. It is resistant to environmental conditions such as air, water and temperature. It also has high air permeability and low vapor permeability. For these two reasons, it is actively used in the food industry. Another of the most popular features of polypropylene is its durability and hardness. It also provides shock absorption. It is more durable and long-lasting when used with other chemicals. Therefore, it is an indispensable raw material used in the automotive industry. This polymer is also not absorbed by the human body. For this reason, polypropylene threads are used in sewing.

Differences Between Polyethylene and Polypropylene

Polyethylene (PE) is a stronger material than polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene is more resistant to chemicals and organic solvents.
Polyethylene has the ability to stretch. Polypropylene is a hard material that does not stretch.
Compared to polyethylene, polypropylene is more rigid.
