Description

Abbreviation: PP

Polypropylene (PP) is a versatile thermoplastic polymer that belongs to the polyolefin family. It is produced through the polymerization of propylene, a hydrocarbon gas derived from crude oil refining or natural gas processing. PP is widely used in various applications due to its exceptional combination of properties, making it one of the most commonly used plastics globally.
