Häufige Fragen
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.
