Polypropylene is typically divided into three main groups. Each of these groups displays different outstanding property and therefore BRASKEM Polypropylene Resins are used in many different applications:

• PP homopolymer has the highest stiffness

• PP copolymer has the highest impact resistance

• PP random copolymer has the highest transparency

Typical Applications

Food packaging, pails, crates and boxes, caps and closures, fibers and staple fibers, films, tubes and pipes, sheets and profiles, house wares and consumer goods.

PP Properties:

• Good to High stiffness = possible down gauging

• High temperature resistance = allows filling at high temperature, microwave, sterilization

• Chemical inertness = stress cracking resistance

• Steam barrier properties = food protection

• Nucleated or clarified grades = higher stiffness and transparency

• Outstanding impact / rigidity balance = possible substitution of more expensive polymers

• Easy to stretch = excellent for film and fiber applications

• Good hinge properties = allows advance part design and cost saving
