Tips about PP resin
PP resin is polypropylene resin, its chemical and physical properties are a kind of semi-crystalline material. It is harder than PE and has a higher melting point.
Polypropylene resin has the lowest density among general-purpose plastics. It is a milky white highly crystalline polymer, non-toxic and odorless; it has good mechanical properties, rigidity, abrasion resistance, and hardness; it has good heat resistance and poor cold resistance; It does not absorb water, has good chemical stability, but is not resistant to sunlight and has poor thermal stability; it is flammable and smells of oil when burned; it has good electrical insulation and voltage resistance; the film is transparent and has poor permeability to air and water vapor; used for molding Film, silk and other products are better, but dyeing, printing, and adhesion are poor.
PP Polypropylene chemical and physical properties PP is a semi-crystalline material. It is harder than PE and has a higher melting point. Since homopolymer PP is very brittle when the temperature is higher than 0C, many commercial PP materials are random copolymers with 1 to 4% ethylene or clamp copolymers with higher ethylene content. Copolymer PP material has lower thermal distortion temperature (100C), low transparency, low gloss, low rigidity, but has stronger impact strength. The strength of PP increases with the increase of ethylene content. The Vicat softening temperature of PP is 150C. Due to the high crystallinity, the surface rigidity and scratch resistance of this material are very good.
PP does not have the problem of environmental stress cracking. Usually, the PP is modified by adding glass fiber, metal additives or thermoplastic rubber. The flow rate MFR of PP ranges from 1 to 40. PP materials with low MFR have better impact resistance but lower elongation strength. For materials with the same MFR, the strength of the copolymer type is higher than that of the homopolymer type. Due to crystallization, the shrinkage rate of PP is quite high, generally 1.8~2.5%. And the direction uniformity of shrinkage is much better than that of PE-HD and other materials. Adding 30% of glass additives can reduce the shrinkage to 0.7%. Both homopolymer and copolymer PP materials have excellent moisture absorption, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, and solubility resistance. However, it has no resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons (such as benzene) solvents, chlorinated hydrocarbons (carbon tetrachloride) solvents, etc.
JOYSUN was established in 2005, focusing on the production of plastic rubber foaming agents, WPC additives and PVC calcium-zinc stabilizers, with R&D and export services. In addition to production aids, JOYSUN is also a technical service provider and promoter in the field of plastics and rubber. We are a wood-plastic lubricant processing factory, if you need it, please contact us.
