PP Chips

Polypropylene or polypropene (PP Chips) is a thermoplastic polymer, used in a wide variety of applications, including plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, thermal pants and shirts made for the military, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes. It has been found that mechanical recycling is the best recovery option for large PP automotive components, while energy recovery is the solution for most small plastic parts.

Polypropylene’s are available to meet the needs of various fabrication processes such as extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming, blow molding, biaxially oriented film (BOPP), fiber spinning, slit tape, extrusion coating, and laminating.

We manufacture Polypropylene which is an economical part of Lead Acid Battery recycling. The Plastic Boxes obtained from Battery Scraps are processed to our Plastic Section in order to produce profitable Plastic Chips or the Polypropylene chips.

Production of polypropylene takes place by slurry, solution or gas phase process, in which the propylene monomer is subjected to heat and pressure in the presence of a catalyst system. Polymerization is achieved at relatively low temperature and pressure and the product yielded is translucent, but readily colored. Differences in catalyst and production conditions can be used to alter the properties of the plastic.

PP does not present stress-cracking problems and offers excellent electrical and chemical resistance at higher temperatures.
