Polypropylene

 

PP COMPOUNDS

PP is an engineering thermoplastic compound resin reinforced with 10-50% of minerals and/or additives. Calcium carbonate-filled polypropylene compounds have been tailored specifically to meet the requirements of each of the major automobile producers. Grades are available to meet FDA food and drug packaging requirements. These products have excellent mold detail and surface reproduction with fast set-up times. They are also available in an array of colors.
