APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Polypropylene
Polypropylene is a thermoplastic produced from propylene. Homopolymer, random-copolymer and impact-copolymer constructions have different property balances.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Polypropylene (PP) is a versatile thermoplastic material, compatible with many processing techniques and used in many commercial applications.
Melt flow, stiffness, impact behaviour and additives affect conversion. A fibre grade and a toughened moulding grade should not be treated as interchangeable resin solely because both are polypropylene.
What turns activity into demand
Downstream output must be translated into material mass and accepted grade. More finished units need not imply proportionally more resin. Separate resin tonnes from compounded material and finished product sales. Reprocessing the same material is not another primary resin sale.
The commercial boundary
Separate resin tonnes from compounded material and finished product sales. Reprocessing the same material is not another primary resin sale.
