What is polypropylene plastic?

Answer 1

propylene

poly -- means it is a plastic polymer of propolyene

this is fuxcked!

Answer 2

There are several processes, but they all basically involve polymerizing propylene using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst. If you don't use a catalyst, you can still polymerize propylene, but instead of polypropylene you get polyethylene.

Answer 3

originally produced by the Italian chemical company Montecatini, and marketed under the name Moplen. Nowadays, polypropylene is manufactured around the world, and over the last 50 years, it has become an indispensable material to virtually every field or industry you can imagine, from household goods and consumer packaging to medical technology and the military.

What are Polypropylene's physical properties?

Polypropylene is known for being both lightweight and extremely rugged, but can have different textures, or tacticities, depending on which polymerization process is used to create it. Isotactic polypropylene is formulated with all methyl group atoms attached to one side of its atomic chain, which creates a rigid polymer. On the other end of the spectrum you'll find rubbery-textured atactic polypropylene, whose elastomeric qualities come from the methyl group atoms located on both sides of its atomic chain.

Polypropylene, which can be used as either a molded plastic or a fiber, can tolerate higher temperatures (up to 160°C, or 320°F) without melting, and it doesn't absorb water. Although polypropylene can easily be manufactured in a wide variety of colors, the material is completely clear when it's biaxially oriented (biaxially oriented polypropylene is also known as BOPP).

Because polypropylene is highly fatigue-resistant and can stand up to continuous flexing, it's used to make most of the "living hinges" you'll find on the market (think flip-top plastic caps on ketchup bottles, shampoo and toothpaste, or the snap-open lids on Tic-tac dispensers). Polypropylene is very resistant to acids, bases, and other harsh chemical solvents, and since it's also nonconductive, it can often be used as a dielectric.

Answer 4

Polypropylene plastic is a thermoplastic polymer commonly used in a variety of applications including packaging, textiles, automotive parts, and medical devices. It is known for its durability, resistance to chemical solvents, and ability to be easily molded into different shapes. Polypropylene is also recyclable and has a low environmental impact compared to other plastics.

Answer 5

Oil and natural gas are the primary feed stocks

Answer 7

Polypropylene it what we make plastic bottles, carpets, and plastic furniture out of. There is also a lot of polypropylene in cars.

Answer 8

Polypropylene is built from propane by using Zeigler Natta reagent or Titanium Chloride and Triethyl Aluminum.

Answer 9

Using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst.
