Polypropylene (often abbreviated as "PP") is one of the most widely used plastics on the planet. It's a favorite of engineers and manufacturers worldwide, covering a wide range of applications. With its toughness and exceptional fatigue resistance, it is the go-to material for creating functional prototypes and durable end-use parts. Since it has a low density, it can be used to create lightweight parts with a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Polypropylene also has excellent temperature, electrical, and chemical resistance. It can take temperatures up to 105℃, can be used as an electrical insulator, and can stand a wide range of bases and acids - including industrial cleaning agents. PP is also semi-flexible, translucent, and has low friction and smooth surfaces, making it suitable for producing everything from electrical components to living hinges.
