SPECIFICATIONS
Chemical Structure
PPH is a thermoplastic polymer obtained by the polymerization of propylene monomer. During the polymerization process, propylene monomers form chains, resulting in the creation of PPH.
Physical Structure
It is a crystalline polymer and is typically found in the form of white or colorless granules. These granules can be transformed into different forms during the processing stage.
Melting Point
The melting point of polypropylene homopolymer ranges between 160 to 165 degrees Celsius. This is important in determining the processing temperature of the material.
Density
The typical density of PPH is approximately between 0.90 to 0.91 g/cm³. Its low density makes it a lightweight and easily transportable material.
Mechanical Properties
PPH exhibits high strength and durability properties. This makes it a reliable option for many applications.
Chemical Resistance
PPH is resistant to acids, bases, and most solvents. Additionally, it shows resistance to UV radiation.
Thermal Stability
PPH is resistant to high temperatures and is therefore preferred for hot applications.
Electrical Properties
Thanks to its insulation properties, PPH can be used in electrical applications.
Food Safety
PPH is commonly used in the food industry and is suitable for food contact when properly processed.
Environmental Impacts
PPH is a recyclable material, and proper recycling can help reduce environmental impacts.
PRODUCTION
PRODUCTION STAGES
The production of polypropylene homopolymer involves the polymerization process of a monomer called propylene. This process is a chemical reaction that occurs under high temperature and pressure.
The production process begins with obtaining high-purity propylene gas. This gas can be obtained as a byproduct of crude oil or through the cracking of ethylene with propylene. The polymerization of propylene gas occurs in the presence of a suitable catalyst. The type of catalyst and reaction conditions determine the properties of the product.
The reaction process is carried out under strict control. Parameters such as temperature, pressure, and reaction time are carefully adjusted. Propylene molecules are transformed into polymer chains under the influence of the catalyst. At this stage, the length and branching structure of the polymer chains are determined.
The resulting mixture from the reaction is purified through various processes. This includes the removal of unwanted additives and by products.
Polypropylene is obtained in granule or powder form and is melted through the extrusion process. This molten form is then shaped using various molds or extrusion dies.
