Description
Abbreviation: PMP or P4MP1
Poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) (PMP or P4MP1) is a specialized synthetic polymer belonging to the class of polyolefins. It is produced by the polymerization of 4-methyl-1-pentene monomers, a type of olefin hydrocarbon with five carbon atoms. PMP is a relatively unique and niche polymer, valued for its exceptional properties that make it suitable for specific industrial applications.
Due to its unique combination of properties, Poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) finds use in specialized applications where traditional plastics may not meet the required performance criteria. Its transparency, low density, and high heat resistance make it an excellent choice for demanding applications in various industrial sectors.
