Polypropylene
Polypropylene is an economical material that offers a combination of outstanding physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties not found in any other general purpose thermoplastic. Compared to low or high density polyethylene it has a lower impact strength, but superior working temperature and tensile strength.
PP-H (Polypropylene Homopolymer)
(Colours: Natural (off-white), Beige-Grey, Black)
PP-H, the homopolymer grade is often used in engineering and tooling applications, whilst PP-C, the copolymer grade, is primarily used in more cosmetic applications, such as cladding. PP-H offers higher rigidity than its copolymer counterpart and has a slightly better maximum working temperature as well as better chemical stability.

PP-C (Polypropylene Copolymer)
(Colours: Natural (off-white), White, Beige-Grey, Black, Grey, ‘Arctic’ White, ‘Sea’ Blue)
PP-C, the copolymer grade, is primarily used in more cosmetic applications, such as cladding. PP-C is used for hygenic cladding and a variety of other applications in the food industry.

PP-GF30 (Polypropylene + 30% Glass)
The addition of 30% glass fibre offers greatly improved dimensional stability, tensile strength and heat resistance on than that of virgin PP-H.
