Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene is cheap, chemically resistant and remarkable in fatigue, which is why it dominates living hinges, containers, lids and fluid handling parts. It is a semicrystalline resin with high shrinkage, so mould design has to account for it early.

الأسئلة الشائعة

الأسئلة المتكررة

Why is PP hard to glue and paint?

Its non-polar surface resists adhesion, so parts need flame, plasma or primer treatment before bonding or painting. We specify the treatment in the process plan.

What is a living hinge?

A thin PP section that flexes thousands of times without breaking, which is why PP dominates flip-top lids and clip designs. Living hinges must be designed in the flow direction of the mould.

Does PP shrink a lot?

Yes, between 1 and 2.5 %, which is much higher than ABS. Moulds and cooling are designed around that shrinkage, and wall thickness consistency matters more than with other resins.
