PP, also known as polypropylene, is a type of plastic that belongs to the category of technical plastics. In various industries, this plastic is highly popular due to its excellent chemical resistance. In the plastic industry, polypropylene is often abbreviated as PP.

Properties of Polypropylene Plastic

Polypropylene is a versatile thermoplastic polymer with several unique properties that make it suitable for various applications. PP is known for its high heat resistance, which can reach up to 100 degrees Celsius. As a result, PP retains its shape at high temperatures. The material is lightweight and has no moisture absorption. Additionally, PP offers excellent chemical resistance and good rigidity, making it a popular choice in various industries.

Machining Options for PP

Polypropylene can be machined in various ways. Of course, we can CNC machine this material (turning, turning-milling, and milling), but PP also offers other machining options, including welding, water jet or laser cutting, and hot bending.
