SPECTRANE PP (POLYPROPYLENE)
Polypropylene is obtained by polymerization of propylene monomer. Polypropylene, a derivative of ethylene, is obtained in oil refineries or during the processing of natural gas. There are different types available according to the places of use and needs.
PP-HOMO: It is obtained through polymerization of pure propylene. It is renowned for its high temperature resistance and mechanical properties. Thanks to its thermal resistance, it is used in automotive parts and industrial applications. The chain structure is typically Isotactic, meaning that propylene monomers are bound to each other in the same direction. This arrangement enhances the polymer's crystalline structure and improves its mechanical properties.
PP-Random COPO: It is obtained through random copolymerization of ethylene and propylene. It is generally preferred in film and packaging applications due to its transparent and flexible structures. The monomer of ethylene (C2H4) and the monomer of propylene (C3H6) are arranged in a random chain structure.
PP-Block COPO: It is formed as a result of sorting propylene and ethylene monomers into certain blocks. Its prominent blocks usually lead to a more regular crystal structure. Thus, a material with increased hardness and decreased flexibility can be achieved through this process. It has important areas of use such as packaging, medical materials and textiles.
