Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene (PP)Description:

This polymer made of propylene has a structure similar to the one of PE but each second carbon atom of the backbone is linked with a methyl group. PP features a better temperature resistance than PE as well as comparable mechanical and chemical stability but it is much more sensitive to strong oxidising chemicals.
