Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most widely used thermoplastic polymers in the global plastics industry, known for its excellent balance of mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and processability. As a semi-crystalline polymer, PP offers high stiffness, good impact strength, and outstanding resistance to fatigue, making it ideal for a vast range of industrial and consumer applications.

At Aurora International, we supply high-quality virgin and recycled PP resins tailored to meet the unique needs of various industries including automotive, packaging, medical, construction, and consumer goods. Our PP grades are sourced from reliable global manufacturers and are available in homopolymer, random copolymer, and block copolymer formats.

Types of Polypropylene We Offer

  1. Homopolymer PP:
    Offers high strength and rigidity, making it suitable for injection molding and extrusion applications such as plastic parts, storage containers, automotive components, and electrical housings.

  2. Random Copolymer PP:
    Contains small amounts of ethylene for improved clarity and flexibility, commonly used in food packaging, medical containers, and housewares that require transparency and toughness.

  3. Block Copolymer PP:
    Designed for applications that need excellent impact resistance and low-temperature performance. It is commonly used in automotive parts, crates, industrial packaging, and appliances.
