Olefins is the PromaPlast division in charge of the following product lines: |
Family: PP
Description: Polypropylene
 |
Polypropylene is one of the resins with the highest growth and versatility, offering the advantage of producing light-weight parts with resistance to heat and chemicals.
Their limitations are: low resistance to the impact of low temperature and difficulty of combining with adhesives or paint.
It offers a proper balance between properties and cost, which is not achieved with most of the thermoplastics.
It can be combined with a mineral fill such as powder, mica, fiberglass, to obtain a better performance. |
