It is a polypropylene homopolymer. This polypropylene homopolymer has a higher tensile strength and higher hardness than polypropylene copolymer.
However, its disadvantage is mainly in its impact strength.
Because of high crystallization and low impact strength, this homopolymer is a good option for textile applications and/or for sheets and films.
In such applications, there is more need to tensile strength and the impact strength is not of importance. These materials are suitable for production of films capable of being formed as tapes for textile applications.
Application:
- Strings, ropes, belts for packaging
- Supports of carpets, sacks, industrial cloths, felts
- Monofilament
- Thermoform parts
- Industrial fibers
- Textile applications
- Meshes for various applications
