What is Polypropylene?
Polypropylene (PP) is a popular thermoplastic
polymer used in a wide range of applications. It
is a part of the polyolefin group of plastics,
which also includes polyethylene (PE). PP is
characterized by its high strength-to-weight
ratio, chemical resistance, and durability.

What is types of Polypropylene?

• There are several types of polypropylene (PP)
  available, each with its own specific properties
  and applications. Here are some of the most
  common types
• PP TQ
• PP THERMOFORMING
• PP RANDOM
• PP RAFFIA
• PP MOLDING
• PP LAMINATION
• PP HOMOPOLYMER
• PP COPOLYMER

PP Copolymer LyondellBasell Pro-fax 8623
Pro-fax 8623 is a random copolymer polypropylene
(PP) grade manufactured by LyondellBasell. It is
designed to provide a balance of stiffness,
impact resistance, and processability, making it
suitable for a wide range of applications,
including injection molding and blow
molding. This grade of PP has a high melt flow
rate (MFR) of 23 g/10 min, which means it can be
processed easily at high speeds. It also has a
good balance of stiffness and impact resistance,
making it ideal for applications such as
thin-wall containers, caps, and closures.

Benefits of HDPE Molding

• There are several benefits of using copolymer
  polypropylene (PP) in various applications
• Improved flexibility PP copolymers have a lower
  melting point and a lower degree of crystallinity
  than homopolymer PP, which gives them improved
  flexibility and impact resistance.
• Better clarity Random copolymer PP grades have a
  better clarity and transparency than homopolymer
  PP, making them an ideal choice for transparent
  or translucent applications.

• Higher chemical resistance PP copolymers have a
  better resistance to chemicals than homopolymer
  PP, making them suitable for use in applications
  that require contact with aggressive chemicals,
  such as automotive components and chemical
  storage tanks.
• Enhanced processability Copolymer PP grades have
  a broader processing window, which allows for
  faster and more efficient processing than
  homopolymer PP. They also have a wider range of
  melt flow rates, making them suitable for various
  processing methods such as injection molding,
  blow molding, and extrusion.
• Improved toughness PP copolymers have improved
  toughness and impact resistance, making them
  ideal for use in applications that require high
  durability, such as food packaging, toys, and
  household items.
