Polypropylene
Polypropylene, an economical and chemically resistant thermoplastic, boasts outstanding aesthetic attributes, making it a popular choice for a wide array of applications. Its low cost and durability contribute to its widespread usage across multiple industries.
Commonly utilized as a consumer packaging material, polypropylene offers excellent barrier properties and maintains its shape even under high temperatures. Additionally, the material's inherent flexibility and fatigue resistance render it suitable for manufacturing plastic hinges that require repeated motion. Polypropylene is also employed in waterproofing insulation due to its hydrophobic nature and resistance to moisture penetration.
