[Offer PDF] Polypropylene Resins
Chemical Economics Handbook
December 2019
Polypropylene (PP) resins are one of the fastest-growing commodity thermoplastic resins in the world, surpassed only by LLDPE. PP is a lightweight, versatile polymer with excellent chemical resistance along with relatively high rigidity and a high melting point compared with other polymers such as polyethylene. Polypropylene is used in applications ranging from automotive parts, carpet fibers, and household and food containers to toys, diapers, and high-clarity films. Polypropylene competes with polyethylene and polystyrene as well as with other nonpolymer materials such as aluminum, steel, wood, cardboard, glass, and paper. The single-largest application for PP resins globally is injection molding, with a 35% share of global consumption. Extrusion applications accounted for a total of 62% of consumption in 2019, led by film and sheet, fiber, and raffia (slit-film fiber) applications. The demand scenario is not expected to shift drastically in the next five years.
