SUMMARY:Polypropylene: Commodity Resin\, I Don't Think So
DESCRIPTION:Polypropylene is often referred to as a “commodity resin”\, however\, is this really the case? \nPolypropylene is a versatile thermoplastic that can be processed through a variety of processing techniques. It is utilized in a wide range of applications\, including packaging\, automotive\, infrastructure\, appliances\, healthcare\, and electrical. It’s wide use is based upon several key strengths\, including: \n\nGood chemical resistance\nGood electrical insulation properties\nFlexural strength and modulus\nRelatively low coefficient of friction\nReadily available and relatively inexpensive\n\nThe implication of the interchangeability of polypropylene resins does a disservice to the complexity of this material and the plastic industry in general. The properties of polypropylene are highly dependent on molecular weight and molecular weight distribution\, crystallinity\, type and proportion of comonomer\, and tacticity. \nHopefully\, after the webinar\, attendees will \n\nGain an understanding of the general properties of polypropylene.\nHave more insight into how the molecular structure of polypropylene determines its performance properties.\nAppreciate the diversity of polypropylene.
