GRADES AND SELECTION CRITERIA
PP — variants and selection
Variants to distinguish
HomopolymerStiffness and processability for injection moulding, extrusion, fibres/raffia and other applications.
Random copolymerTransparency and specific performance for certain packaging, pipe and injection moulding applications.
Impact copolymerHigher impact resistance for technical parts, automotive and consumer goods.
Process-specific gradesThe family includes specific grades for injection moulding, extrusion, fibres/nonwovens and other processing routes.
What we review before proposing a grade
- MFI and process
- impact / stiffness
- transparency
- service temperature
- food contact or market requirements
Supply may combine European, American, Asian and Middle Eastern producers depending on grade and availability.
