Polypropylene Testing Instruments

Polypropylene (PP) is a polymer combined with propylene monomers that can be used in a variety of applications such as packaging for consumer products, plastic parts for various industries that includes the automotive industry, special devices like living hinges, and textiles. Polypropylene is a hard and clear thermoplastic that is used in daily products like packaging trays, household products, battery cases, medical devices and so on. PP belongs to polyolefin family of polymers and is one of the top three widely used polymers today. Polypropylene has applications both as a plastic and a fiber in Automotive Industry, Industrial Applications, Consumer Goods, and Furniture Market. PP retains mechanical & electrical properties at elevated temperatures, in humid conditions and when submerged in water. It is resistant to water-repellent plastic and has good resistance to environmental stress cracking. It is sensitive to microbial attacks, such as bacteria and mound. It exhibits good resistance to steam sterilization. Manufacturers of PP plastic can test the quality using Polypropylene Testing Instruments.
